14 April 2026 An MF Distributor earns income by way of brokerage. Can he choose to compute his income as per presumptive income scheme? If not, then under which section is a business earning from brokerage or commission not made eligible to declare income under presumptive income scheme? As per section 58 of 2025ACT and Table given there under column B , it states, "Any business other than the business specified against serial number 2". It states ANY BUSINESS" which will cover all business other than specified in serial 2. So business earning brokerage or commission gets covered.
Please advise if there is any other overriding clause excluding business earning income by way of brokerage from presumptive income scheme.
Thank you
