Never trade on behalf of others specially when money matters and speculative trading is concerned. A lot of things can go wrong.

Besides, there are RBI / FEMA rules that prohibit resident Indians from this kind of arrangement. And lastly, there's the I-T department and even your local bank who might ask questions.

RBI / FEMA rules prohibit Resident Indians to convert Rupee into other currency for speculative trading ...
If a westerner has a FX account, YOU CAN CERTAINLY TRADE ON HIS BEHALF ... Yours faithfully is doing it since 6 years without breaking a sweat ..
When it comes to filing IT returns, you have to take all your income sources into consideration ... FX Income as a stand alone income does not matter at all
Shoot if you have any FX trading related doubts ...........

b, And in what mode, How do you keep the receipts for the income?
2, How do you declare your forex income?

You can trading legal pair in CDS segment just like NSE, MCX
Your profit will paid in INR, it will monitored through PAN account
Receipts income is profit from trading with respect to IT section
Declaration is Profit under IT section for Share trading profits.
