A Surcharge is levy of the Union government, whihc is in addition to Duties, Taxes that can be levied by the Union.  Article 271 of the Constitution of India empowers such a levy. Article 271 is given below for ready reference.

271. Surcharge on certain duties and taxes for purposes of the

Union.- Notwithstanding anything in articles 269 and 270, Parliament

may at any time increase any of the duties or taxes referred to in

those articles by a surcharge for purposes of the Union and the whole

proceeds of any such surcharge shall form part of the Consolidated

Fund of India.
