Surcharge on Income Tax:10% of the Income Tax payable, in case the total taxable income exceeds Rs.10,000,000. Surcharge shall not exceed the amount of income that exceeds Rs.10,000,000.

Note: The above Income Tax rates have been proposed in the Union Budget for FY 2014-15 presented by the NDA government. These rates supersedes the proposal in the Vote On Account presented by the erstwhile UPA government pending Lok Sabha elections.
