Hi, As per section 40(ia) , tax has to be deducted as per the prescribed . If the tax is not deducted at prescribed rate or deducted at low rates then whole of the expenses will be disallowed. In my opinion there is no provision for proportionate allowance of expenses. In your case, as the surcharge is not deducted whole expenses will be dissallowed. Experts plz clarify if any other consequences are there.
