How Do I Know If My Employer Is Paying My Professional Tax And PF ?

Hi all, I am a Software Developer from Mumbai.

How do I know if my employer is paying my Professional Tax and PF? The salary that I get comes with both these deductions.

Please check with the concerned authorities of the State Govt (generally local bodies where your organization is situated) and get confirmation. They will issue a receipt for each individual. You may approach your employer for the receipt first, and if they are not giving it, approach the PT authorities with the date of remittance proof.

Both PTax and PF are the employer's liabilities. You can obtain information for your company's Accounts department. For PF details, visit the EPFO site, provide your mobile number, and receive information about your PF balance within an hour. Afterward, cross-check with your salary slip or HR department for the PF Annual return 3A and 6A.

In PF website, you can see the details of payment being made by your company, including the list of members. Please check whether your name appears in that or not.

In the case of PT, you need not bother much, as you are not going to get back that deducted amount. However, just ensure that the PT deduction during the FY is captured in the Form 16 and the same is reduced from your total income to calculate TDS.

If for an employee, the company has not paid/credited PF amount since October 2012 for the FY 2012-2013 (as it appears in the employee's PF Passbook) but the company has deducted money from his/her salary, the employee seems liable since it is his hard-earned money. But what can he do to make the employer deal with this?

PT on salary (gross)
0 to 6000 - Nil
6001 to 8999 - ₹80
9000 to 12000 - ₹150
Above 12000 - ₹200
