11 January 2014 Cess will be charged only when TDS is deducted from salary and payments to non-residents.

It is NOT to be charged on TDS from other payments.

27 July 2025 Here’s a clear explanation on **TDS cess and surcharge**:

### 1. **Cess on TDS:**

* **Health and Education Cess (currently 4%)** is levied on the **amount of TDS deducted**.
* This cess is **applicable on all TDS payments** — whether on salary, non-salary payments, or payments to non-residents.
* Example: If TDS amount is ₹1,000, cess will be 4% of ₹1,000 = ₹40, so total TDS payable = ₹1,040.

### 2. **Surcharge on TDS:**

* **Surcharge is applicable only when TDS is deducted on payments to Non-Residents** or on certain specified payments (e.g., interest, dividends) where the payee is a non-resident.
* It is **not applicable on TDS deducted from residents**, whether salary or other payments.
* The surcharge percentage varies based on income slabs of the recipient (e.g., 10%, 15%, 25%, 37% as per slabs).

### Summary:

| Deductee Type | Cess on TDS | Surcharge on TDS |
| ----------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------ |
| Resident (Salary/Other) | Yes (4%) | No |
| Non-Resident | Yes (4%) | Yes (as per income slab) |
