Income from Commission from Insurance Business is taxable under the Head "Income from Business or Profession". Since Gross receipts are less than the amount specified u.s 44AB, Audit is not required. Commission income is not included in eligible business for the purposes of section 44AD, meaning there by the Assessee has to maintain books of accounts.
