In case of a commission agent only his commision is his turnover and not the entire amount of purchase and sale effected by him. Hence you should confront the ITO stating that in case of a commission agent only commision is his turnover and offer the same as income.

I hope that the parties that the agent was dealing were genuine as he may be required to prove that he was acting on behalf of the principal.
