Confused About Form IIIB for Professional Tax in Maharashtra? Need Help with Periodicity!

contactmith@gmail.com
I need your help with regards to filling out the professional tax monthly return using Form III B provided by the MVAT department. I have some doubts regarding the periodicity field and which period should be mentioned in this field.

Say I'm making the payment of professional tax liability for December 2012 (deducted from December 2012 salary) in January 2013 before the due date. I'll mention the same in Field 7, computation of professional tax, under the number of employees whose salary was paid for the month of December.

If I select the periodicity of the return as 01-12-2012 to 31-12-2012, it shows a validation error. However, when I select the periodicity of the return as 01-01-2013 to 31-03-2013, the file is validated.

What should be the periodicity of return for the December 2012 liability payment which is paid in January 2013? Please advise.
