I wanted to know if an assessee is a commission agent and receives commission income above Rs.1500000/- is he liable for audit u/s 44AB of the Income Tax Act? (Is he considered as Professional?) If yes please let me know the reference for the same if any.

Commission Income is treated as a Business Income and not a professional Income. You may refer Section 44AA and notifications issued there under for the list of specified professions. . As such Audit is not required on the turnover of Rs. 15.00 lac. .
