I think that in your attachment, what you mentioned about the remittance period is incorrect. It should only be September to February; there is no need to mention April to September and October to March. Let me clarify why this period is mentioned.

The two half-yearly PT remittance periods are correct, i.e., April to September - 1st half-yearly period and October to March - 2nd half-yearly period. Please understand that the remittance of the 1st half-yearly period should occur on or before the 15th of September. This means that the profession tax should be deducted in the month of August from the employee, considering the employee's earnings in the month of September for calculation (as per slab).

The same process should occur for the 2nd half-yearly period as well. However, in this case, you will need to deduct the PT in the month of January. Since you will deduct the PT in January, you must consider the employee's earnings for February and March for calculation (as per slab).

We hope this is clear now.
