Understanding Professional Tax Deductions Across Indian States: Can You Share the Differences?

minalpatel
Hi, I wanted to understand PT deduction in different states of India. I have heard that PT deduction as per the Factory Act is different from our normal deduction of ₹175 and ₹200. Can somebody please help me with the list of variations?

I am working in a company where our headquarters is located in Mumbai. We have a presence across PAN India. Salaries are paid from Mumbai. Do we need to deduct Professional Tax (PT) as per the state-wise PT slab? If so, do we have to register separately for PT in each state?

Seniors, kindly clarify.

I'm working in a company that has its headquarters in Mumbai but work locations on a PAN India basis. Salaries are processed from the headquarters in Mumbai. Please let me clarify the following:

1. Whether our company should have a Professional Tax Registration Number in all states where Professional Tax is applicable.
2. Whether the Professional Tax deducted and deposited under our headquarters' Professional Tax Registration Number is okay and valid.

Please guide me on the above.

Thanks,
AK Sharma
