I believe that the matter is of facts and no detailed commentary is available on this issue specifically.

AI Summary

Professional vs Salary Income: classification depends on the factual matrix and cannot be resolved by general commentary. Classification of income as professional or salary depends on the factual matrix; when an assessing officer treats professional receipts as salary the matter is fact specific and not amenable to general commentary, requiring analysis of contractual terms, control, nature of services, and contemporaneous evidence for tax assessment.
