Let’s Say you earned ₹59,500/- Commission this F.Y. from which ₹35000/- was the first-year commission and ₹25,500/- was the renewal commission earned.

So the total exemption is:

First year’s commission = ₹34,000/-

Deduction: 50% = ₹17,000/-

Renewal Commission = ₹25,500

Deduction: 15% = ₹3,825

Total Deduction = ₹17,000 + ₹3,825 = ₹20,825 but only ₹20,000 is allowed.

You can not exempt any other deduction like Your Telephone expense/rent/petrol from this final deduction.

So, now your Total Annual income will be ₹3,50,000 + (₹34,000 + ₹25,500 – ₹20,000 (deductions) = ₹39,500) = ₹3,89,500/-
