Insurance agency is 'business' according to ICAI publication. Being business, again it comes under 'eligible business' and accordingly section 44AD applies. Therefore,assessee can opt presumptive taxation meaning thereby income offered should be not less than 8% of the commission provided total commission is less than 60/- lakhs per annum. Form prescribed is ITR-4S. If the commission is more than 60/- lakhs per annum, books of account have to be maintained and accounts are to be audited u/s 44AB of the Income tax Act,1961.
