Khushboo,

The provision says business income and thus, according to me, you can include the insurance commission under it and claim the presumptive rate. however, as far as the consultancy income goes, the same falls under professional income and thus, the presumptive taxation may not apply.

44ad is not applicable as both sources of income are specifically excluded. You shall treat the consultancy income as profits frm business n profession whereas commission as income frm other sources.

Sorry Mr. Pakshal Shah.

Income from Commission recd from General Insurance should only be treated as income from Business and Profession and beyond the limits u/s 44AD.
