There has been major changes with regard to surcharge, education cess, SHEC, after approval of the finance (No. 2) ACT, 2009. I have received so many queries about surcharge and education cess rates and applicability for A.Y. 2010-2011. I classified this article so that everyone can understand in a very simple manner.

All rates applicable w.e.f. 1-4-2009 in my view, although finance (No.2) Act approval date is 19th, Aug 2009.
