As per notification 93/2015 dated 16/12/2015 which states that wef 01/04/2016 Form 15CB is required only when transaction is taxable and it excced 5 lac.

Further as per Press Release by income tax dep dated 17.12.2015 states- A CA certificate in Form No. 15CB will be required to be furnished only in respect of such payments made to non-residents which are chargeable to tax and the amount of payment during the year exceeds ₹ 5 lakh.

In my view Commission paid to non resident agent is not a taxable transaction as per income tax as neither there income arise,accrue or receive in India.. Hence there shall be no requirement of 15CB in my view.

Yes Form 15CA part D need to file as its a non taxable transaction.
