The tax levied will be 60 percent and surcharge will be 25% of the tax and cess will be calculated as 3 percent of combined tax and surcharge amount. Those taxpayers who have made a declaration under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana and have paid tax, surcharge and penalty and have deposited 25% of the undisclosed income then the tax impact will be 30 percent and surcharge levied will be 33% of the tax and 10 percent as a penalty will be charged, as reported by The Economic Times. The people who neither own up to the income in ROI nor opt for a declaration under the scheme will bear 60 percent tax. 25% of the tax amount will be levied a surcharge and 3 percent cess will be added to it.
