If the principal transfers money from abroad to your bank account in India by way of commission, the amount so remitted is taxable in your hands irrespective of your
status being an income received in India.
status being an income received in India.

income is earned outside India. At the mandate of commission earner, if the payer transfers the same to earner's indian account, it does NOT amount to income received in India. It still partakes the nature of remittance. And hence NOT taxable in India. (Just to quote the practical example.......shipping guys, other salary earner NRIs.....have a DUAL salary structure....one that is paid in local currency of the country in which they are rendering their services and two...that is paid by the employer in USD and remitted directly to the Indian account of NRI. This is taxfree subject to however the residential status of the assessee)

1. My observation is based on section 5 (1) (a).
2. Writing in the link http://www.ey.com/gl/en/services/people-advisory-services/hc-alert--india-tribunal-rules-that-salary-income-paid-by-an-employer-into-an-indian-bank-account-is-taxable-in-india-regardless-of-where-the-employee-performed-duties

Wisdom prevails.......
As I explained, there is a thin line between "income received in India" versus " income earned outside India and mandated to remit to India"
Your view please

I stand corrected. Section referred is 5(2)(a).

01. Commission Income is earned outside India. Payer/Employer is REMITTING the said commission income on behalf of assessee, to India. Therefore income can NEITHER be said to be received NOR deemed to be received in India as contemplated in section 5(2)(a). (The querist has used the words Rs. 1 cr......This suggests that he is NOVICE)
Had the commission earned in Dubai and in Dubai INR 1 cr is paid........ not possible, since INR is not permissible in Dubai.Therre is issue of rupee convertibility.
So to say...if the money is paid in INR and in India...section 5(2)(a) comes into play......
However, if the commission is paid in currency of Dubai Or say USD in equivalent of INR 1 cr, in Dubai and then transferred by the payer/employer to India......section 5(2)(a) does NOT come into play.
