Understanding Professional Tax in Delhi/NCR: Do Consultants Pay More Than Per Diem?

Hi all,

My company is sending me as a professional consultant from Singapore to Delhi/NCR. Could you please let me know the professional tax slab? Additionally, is it sufficient for an external consultant to be paid only on a per diem basis, or would they still need to pay income tax as well?

Thank you very much.

Dear TDS,

As a TDS, you have to pay 10.2% of your professional fee as income tax. Delhi and NCR do not have any professional tax.
