Your question consists of two part.  One part where the commission is received in convertiable foreign currrency.  In this case this can be recognised as export of service.  But in another case where the commission is received in India.  It is not coming under the definition of Export of service.   Because one of the condition to be fulfilled so as to term as Export of Service is that the remittance shall be in convertiable foreign currency.
