As per Sec 5 which determines the scope of income, the commision received in the present case is taxable in following cases:-

case 1 -  if your residential status is ROR because then global income is taxable..

case 2 - if your residential status is RNOR / NR and the amount of comission is received in India...

It wil not make any difference that you have received in INR or Foreign Currency..The entire amount is taxable..But you can claim expenses what you have incurred in earning that comission like Telephone charges, or Depreciation on Computer, etc

I agree with amir sir

yip entire amount of commn will be taxable subject to a condition that ur resident and ordinarily resident.
