File itr 3 shows all the income from your business n your commission too
Yes you can show commission income as income from business and if total receipts are less then 2cr then you can file itr 4 and show income under u/s 44AD
Commission income cannot be shown in itr4
Commission Income may not be shown under section 44AD.

If commission I come is not more and possible to show as income from other sources..it is advisable to show rest of the business income under section 44AD and commission income as income from other sources...because if you opt out you cannot claim be edit for 5 subsequent Assessment years and also there will be requirement to get books audited for subsequent assessment years
If a person is earning commission income which is incidental in nature and shall not engaged in the commission agency business then such commission comes under other source of income not all commission or as per small or big amount
Thanks a lot to both of you @ ayusmita and @ yugal jain

A person who is earning income in the nature of commission or brokerage cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD.

Such Person Only file ITR - 3

IT return u/s 44AD refers to the Income Tax Return filed by businesses opting for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act. Businesses with a turnover of less than Rs 2 crore can choose to be taxed presumptively at a fixed percentage of their turnover (8% for non-digital and 6% for digital transactions).

Businesses excluded from presumptive taxation (Section 44AD) are:

  • Life insurance agents cannot avail of the presumptive taxation scheme.
  • Businesses earning income through commission are not eligible for presumptive taxation.
  • Businesses engaged in the transportation of goods through plying, hiring, or leasing goods carriages are not covered under presumptive taxation.
