Worried About No Professional Tax Deduction at Startup? How It Might Affect Your New MNC Job

Hello seniors, I am working with a startup company, and we are just 9 employees. I verified that it is a registered "Pvt Ltd" company.

Regarding TDS

I showed the rent receipt and LIC policy, and they said I will have no TDS, and they are ready to provide me with the FORM 16.

But my concern is, even though I get ₹25,000 per month, they are not deducting professional tax. So, I just want to know, will there be any problem in the next company? Because I'll soon be joining an MNC, and in the HR round, they had asked me why even professional tax is not deducted. I'm worried since then. Should I verify regarding the same with my present company?

Appreciate a quick response as my joining date is next week, and I want to sort things before that.

Just to verify, does your current company have a Registration Certificate Number for Profession Tax? If yes, then they should deduct the amount as per the government slab of your state from your salary. If not, please inquire about the clarification regarding the same.

There will be no problem in your next company. You will need to explain the situation to them.

Thank you.
