5000 to 10000 175/- P.M.
10001 and above 200/- P.M.
and in the month of Feb 300/- instaed of 200/-

Dear Datta,
Please do ask specific questions on the subject. If you want details on ESI, please do google on the internet. You will be flooded with the information. :-)

Dear Veda,
As rightly pointed out by Somani profession tax slabs vary from location to location. Hence, you need to pay profession tax based on the location where the person is working. The finer element of the matter is the local body gets the money as it provides the infrastructure to facilitate functioning of the office in the respective location.

Dear All,
Little confusion in my question, I am asking about Professional Tax paid to Local VAT Office, once in a year by the Company Not monthly PT by employees.

Hi Veda,
I think there is no confusion in your querry but in the answers.
In Karnataka the professional tax of Rs 2,500/- per annum to be paid for each location situated within Karnataka. In other words, if a PVt Ltd. or Ltd. company has no branch offices with in Karnataka, such company has to pay Rs.2500/- per year being employer registration fee and if any Pvt.Ltd./Ltd. company is having different brach offices within the state of Karnataka, in such cases, the company will pay Rs.2500/- being employer registration fee for each location.
From the answers it seems most of the repondents are confusing employee contribution of PT and Employers' regn fee.
You could have mentioned the location of your office avoid the above confusions.

Hi Veda,
Company professional Tax has to be paid separately state wise, in Maharashtra you need to pay only for your main branch where u got PT enrollment done, no need to pay location wise.
In other state such as Gujrat PT is collected by local corporation of the city, in this case u need to pay location wise company profession tax, rate of Company PT is differ from state to state, in Gujrat u need to pay 2000 p.a.
In other state such as TM you need to pay Half yearly Company PT. For further detail contact [Login to view]
