New Secondary and Higher education Cess does not apply to all business!?

Hi,

I know that for New Secondary and Higher education Cess we need to apply OSS Note (1032554 - Secondary and Higher Education Cess on Income Tax) as per the new legal change in India, an additional surcharge has been introduced for purposes of the Union, to be called the #Secondary and Higher Education Cess on income-tax#, calculated at the rate of one per cent.

I think this new cess is applicable across all industries.But, got feed back from client (project) that it does not apply to their business (Import and Trading) and this new cess can be rejected during passing the budget as bill.

Could you let me know reasonable justification to implement this oss notes?

Thanks in advance
