The ITAT allowed the appellant's appeal, directing the Assessing Officer to apply the surcharge at 10% instead of 37% on the income tax computed at the maximum marginal rate of 30%. The Tribunal held that for an Association of Persons with total income exceeding fifty lakhs but not exceeding one crore, the surcharge must be calculated as per the slab rates specified under the Finance Act, not at the highest surcharge rate.
