Income-tax rates set by statute establish surcharge and education cess adjustments to tax, deductions, collections and advance tax. Income-tax is charged at the rates in the First Schedule, reduced by applicable rebates and increased by surcharges calculated in prescribed ways. Net agricultural income above thresholds is aggregated with total income for rate application and relief is computed by calculating tax on the aggregate, computing tax on agricultural income increased by a base amount and taking the difference. Specific Chapters and sections prescribe alternative computation where applicable; withholding, deduction and collection provisions follow the same rates and surcharge rules. An additional Education Cess is levied on tax plus surcharge, and key definitions are provided.
