11 May 2013 taxable 1000
if all the conditions of pure agent satisfied

if acting as undisclosed agent, and charging lumpsum of 11000, then 11000 taxable.
if charging 1000 separately for the service you provided, then 1000.
charging 1000 more doesn't disqualifies from being pure agent, important is whether u charged as hidden profit in that 10000 or a separate fee for providing the service.
