If payment is made to any company or partnership firm and the gross amount paid or payable during the year exceeds Rs. 1 crore, then surcharge is applicable.
Similarly, for payment made to Individuals, HUF, etc., if the gross payment during the financial year exceeds Rs. 10L, surcharge is appicable.
Payer is not expected to know or ascertain the total income of the payee and it is impractical also. For ascertaining the applicability of surcharge, the payer must see whether the payment made or to be made to the payee in the concerned FY exceeds the aforesaid limits.
