ITAT allowed the taxpayer's appeal, determining the surcharge rate at 15% instead of 37% for AY 2022-23. The tribunal found that with the assessee's income of Rs. 1,18,07,380/-, which falls in the bracket of more than Rs. 1 crore but up to Rs. 2 crores, the correct surcharge rate is 15%. The AO/CPC's levy of 37% surcharge was deemed erroneous, contradicting the earlier administrative order. The decision aligns with the principle that surcharge rates are income-dependent and must be applied according to specific statutory income slabs.
