If any individual pays certain amount either on a fixed percentage or amount to portfolio managers .

Please advise...

Portfolio is just like business income as non of the shares are taken delivery by you it is the portfolio manger who does trading on your behalf only the amount of debit and credit appears in the statement as provided to you. Some ITOs are treating this as a speculation profit or losses and accordingly the treatment is given
