As per Mr. Sekar's post in this thread, professional tax may vary from place to place. Before revising your PT in your payroll, check with your municipality, corporation, or local panchayat. This information is applicable only to Ambattur Municipality. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you.

Dear, for which financial year have you given the slab? It is not mentioned. Please provide details for which state as well.

Dear Bindiya,

That is old. This one is the latest. The government has now revised the professional tax rate to 25%.

Hi Suthanthira Selvan,

Could you please tell me from which month it's effective (Jan-June - Payable in July or July-Dec payable in Jan)? Could you please explain? If you have any G.O, please share with us.

Regards,
Selvakumar

Dear Selvakumar,

Professional tax correct half-year periods are Apr.-Sep. and Oct.-Mar. Jan. - June and July - Dec. half-year period is not correct. This revised Professional Tax is applicable from Oct. '08 to Mar. '09, payable in April (2008-09 II half-year). If you need the G.O., contact your Municipality or Corporation office. The above G.O. is displayed in Ambattur Municipality.

Dear members,

Why don't we conduct a comparative study on the Professional Tax of different states vis-a-vis the per capita income of various employment groups, and the outflow of revenue generated by the government into the employee welfare stream? If professionals from different states can provide the data and information, I am prepared to perform the analysis.

Thanks,
Gopan

Dear Selvan,

I have checked with the Professional Tax authorities (Chennai Corporation), and nothing has been declared so far about this. If you have any official notification, circular, or newspaper information, please forward it to me as an attachment.

Srikanth

Dear Mr. Selvan,

I just checked the Corporation of Chennai website and even spoke to the PRO of the corporation, but I received feedback that there is no change in the second half of 2008-09. Where did you obtain the above information?

Regards,
Chitra

Dear Mrs. Chitra,

I got it at Ambattur Municipality. There, this G.O. was displayed, and I checked with the concerned person as well. I will try to get that G.O.

Dear Seniors,

Please provide some valuable information in this regard. Additionally, I need to know the correct half-year periods.

Thank you,

Dear all,

Please find the attachment of the GO for revision.

Dear Folks,

Professional tax can be revised independently by any Corporation/Municipality/Panchayat through their own decision approved by the concerned board. I suggest not to get confused and please reach out to your area Corporation/Municipality/Panchayats for updates.

I heard from one of my friends in Madurai that in Thirumangalam, they have already revised the PT slabs effective from the second half of 2008.

Regards, Sekar Devaraj

Hi Suthanthira Selvan,

Thanks for your information. I have a query - the highest PT so far is Rs. 810, but the excel shows Rs. 750. Can you kindly confirm?

Thanks.

Nesha.

Hi Nesha,

See Mr. Sekar's post above: "Professional tax can be revised independently by any Corporation/Municipality/Panchayat by their own decision approved by the concerned board. I suggest don't get confused and please reach out to your area Corporation/Municipality/Panchayats for updates."

So, it may vary from place to place.

Dear HR Professionals,

Welcome to all HR professionals.

I have one question regarding Ex Gratia Amount. What is an Ex Gratia Amount? When is the company supposed to give it to employees? If it is mentioned in the offer or appointment letter under bonus components, can we provide an Ex Gratia Amount? What are all the statutory implications?

I am waiting for your valuable answers.
