ITAT held that surcharge cannot be levied at 37% when assessee's total income is Rs. 3,48,040/-, which is significantly below the Rs. 5 crore threshold for maximum surcharge rate. The tribunal determined that surcharge is only leviable when income exceeds Rs. 50,00,000, and the maximum 37% surcharge applies only if income exceeds Rs. 5 crore. Consequently, the CPC's imposition of 37% surcharge was erroneous, and the appeal by the assessee was allowed, effectively canceling the excessive surcharge.
