IN first situation as given by you its seems that there is principal-agent relationship between the company and your friend. so the commission income will be treat as business income for your friend. Take an example of another situation of insurance agents, they are selling product of the company and consideration of a product directly paid to the company while agent receive commission from the company, now in that case this commission income will be treat as other source income. here again some other factors should be considered to decide whether we should grouped as business income or not like use of number of assets, establishment detail etc. Therefor in second situation if there is no such material expenditure happened to earn this income, particularly depreciation then you must take it as income from other source.
