Yes, private discretionary trust is taxed at MMR (30%). But surcharge should not apply at ₹7 lakh income. If 10% or 15% surcharge is applied, it is likely a computation or status error and can be corrected via rectification.

yes sir going in appeal (rectification failed). , wrongly 143(1) levied 37% surcharge (for aop it was 15%, but pvt disc trust is not aop, its boi). mmr does not mean surcharge also should be at max rate.

will penalty also follow ? 143(1) levied cess (income remains same). my view - no penalty as income remains same. (Chapter XXI of the "Act" lists down the various kinds of penalties imposable,)
