Gross income 5 lakhs minus business expenses 1 lakh gives him a net income of 4 laks. Check whether he has anu orher income including bank sb a/ c interest. Upto 2.5 lakhs, no tax. Consider his savings in specified u/ s 80 C such as LIC etc., if any, deduct savings upto 1.5 lak. 

For His net income of 4 laks: tax liability is Rs 13,000/- after considering rebate of 2000. Out of Rs 50,000 TDS he can claim refund of 37,000/-

Hi,

For purchase and sale transaction assessee can file return on presumptive basis,but for commission income it is directly added in presumptive profit derived on sale transaction.
