Thanks for your reply.

No, I'm not getting such benefits like ESIC, PF, or TDS in my present service. I have been on leave for 2 months, but now the employer is saying that I have to pay two months' professional tax in the current month.

If you are not being paid for an entire month, then you are not liable to pay P.Tax under State Law on P.Tax as amended from time to time by the state government.

Hi Deepali ji,

Any deduction from salary is done from gross earnings. Professional Tax is a deduction from your gross earnings.
It seems you are from Mumbai. In Maharashtra, you are liable to pay Professional Tax: Nil if your gross earnings are up to Rs. 5000/- per month, Rs. 175/- if your gross earnings are from Rs. 5001 to Rs. 10000/-, and Rs. 200/- (or Rs. 300/- in Feb) if your gross earnings are Rs. 10001/- and above.
I hope you got the answer to your query.

Dear Deepali Ji,

As my friends suggested, you need not pay any PT for those two months as you have not earned anything. Even if you earn and if it is below Rs. 10,000, you need not pay anything. Ask your employer to go through the Act and come out with a clear picture on the deductions.

Is there any legal document available for this rule? I have details of the monthly professional slab. However, our employer said that P.T. will be deducted on a yearly basis as well. This is not possible because the rule mentions that only monthly basis tax is applicable. Please provide me with any such legal document. It is urgent. Thank you.

Dear Shital ji,

P.Tax is a State Law. You need to read your State Law on Tax on Profession, Trade, Calling, and Employment. You need to read rules under the respective State Law. You will get all the details in it. If you do not understand anything, you can ask the question to the forum but please be specific with your question with applicable Law to you.
