Dear Deshmukh,

Professional tax is applicable for the project trainees if they fall into any of the following brackets:
- < ₹3000: PT is NIL
- ₹3000 to ₹5000: PT is Rs. 30/-
- ₹5000 to ₹8000: PT is Rs. 60/-
- ₹8000 to ₹10000: PT is Rs. 100/-
- ₹10000 to ₹15000: PT is Rs. 150/-
- > ₹15000: PT is Rs. 200/-

Hope this helps.
