Dear..
PT is calculated on the particular month's salary u take. If u are taking Zero, how will u calculate the PT.
Ask your HR the same.

If your are leave & your are not paid for that mean if your leave is without pay that there is no need to pay
Professional Tax

Employer used to diduct from salary every month if, employer is not paying salary so can not deduct Professional tax for that month.

Deepali ji,
Any deduction from salary is done from gross earning. Professional Tax is a deduction from your gross earning.
It seems you are from Mumbai. In Maharashtra, you are liable to pay Professional Tax: Nil If your gross earning is up to Rs. 5000/-p.m. Rs. 175/- if your gross earning is from Rs. 5001 to Rs. 10000/- and Rs. 200/- (or Rs. 300/- in Feb) if your gross earning is Rs. 10001/- and above.
I hope, you got the answer to your query.
