28 February 2015 The news of dainik basker is wrong. 2% surcharge on the above working not applicable.
Read the news of Indian express.
“To facilitate a smooth transition to levy of tax on services by both the centre and the states… the service tax rate is being increased from 12 per cent plus education cesses to 14 per cent. The education cess and secondary and higher education cess shall be subsumed in the new service tax rate. The revised rate shall come into effect from a date to be notified,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said while presenting the Budget 2015-16.
