07 August 2009 I presume that you are asking about abolition of Surcharge & Cess from the angle of Tax Deduction at Source.

Surcharge has been abolished from TDS, except where the deductee is non resident.

Education Cess has been abolished from TDS, except TDS from Salary and where the deductee is non resident.

As per the Finance Act, these provisions are effective w.e.f. 01-04-09.

However, sinnce the Bill was presented on 06-07-09, this date can be taken as the effective date.

Please seek more opinion.

20 July 2025 Regarding TDS on Surcharge and Cess abolition dates:

Surcharge and Education Cess have NOT been abolished as of 1st July 2009 or 1st October 2009. They continue to be applicable.
The surcharge and cess are applicable on tax liability and accordingly TDS should be deducted including surcharge and cess, wherever applicable.
For example, if a payment attracts TDS, and the tax amount includes surcharge and cess, then TDS should be deducted on the gross amount including surcharge and cess, unless specifically exempted.
There was no official notification abolishing surcharge or cess on TDS deduction as of mid-2009.
So, to answer:

Surcharge and cess were not abolished on 01.07.09 or 01.10.09.
You should continue deducting TDS including surcharge and cess as applicable.
