Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a post office agent can deduct payments made to an assistant for collection services from their commission income. The consensus is that expenses incurred to earn income are generally deductible. It's advised to check Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) obligations. While specific ITR forms might not explicitly list such deductions, they can typically be accounted for under relevant heads like salary or commission in the 'Schedule P&L' section of the Income Tax Return.

As such all the expenses incurred to earn the income are deductible. Check TDS liability also.

In this case, when the payments are made on regularly basis, the same may be considered under Salary head.

Agree with above comment
Due to tds he filling itr. as I know their is no column in ITR to mention such expense . so should mention the income in itr after deducting this payment from commission earned and keeping the record of the monthly payments or their is any column to mention this expense???

Post agent kind divert his income to other person. It his liability to pay tax over the total commission income, less any expenditure, which he gets. As he pays some regular amount to his assistant, it can be deducted in proper head, be it salary or commission. or fees; whatever you name it. The same heads are available in ITR under 'Schedule P&L'
