Tax on commission earned

Hello forum members,

I am from Hyderabad and in the real estate business. I started the business about 6 months ago and doing pretty well.

My concern is that all of my commission is given to me in cash. I am very much okay to pay taxes on the entire amount, but will my source of funds be questioned. How do I deal with the situation. Looking forward to advise from the forum members.

Thanks

It is advisable to open a Bank A/c in your name and accept your commission in Cheques. But till now as you were receiving the Commission in cash you can show the same as your income after deducting the related expenses and pay tax on the same.

Regards,

Devendra
