If total income exceeds 1 crore (whether it includes LTCG or not), the surcharge will be 15% at least. Thus even if income from other sources is not more than 1 cr, ur minimum surcharge will be 15% since your total income is more than 1 cr. Suppose in example income from other sources was say even 1 rs, still 15% surcharge wuld be levied (since ur income is more than 1 cr. So surcharge can’t be less than 15% even if the other income is from LTCG) Had ur income from other sources been 2.1 crs, then ur surcharge on tax on other income wud be 25% and on LTCG would be 15%.
