Dear Satish,
As i belive you the payroll guy.. & you should know that, PT is state act. PT slab is differe state to state..
If you dont have registration for any of state, where your employees are working & PT is applicable to respecitive states,so, this is very seriouse & big offence, which may attract the huge penality amount & legal action on company for failure to follow the laws.
So, first, get it registratio of under respective states & start contributing the amount in respective states' PT account to avoid any contravercy in future.

Dear Mr. Sathish,

We would like share the status about the Tamil Nadu.

In Tamil Nadu, you need to deduct the Profession Tax, once in 6 months.

There are two half yearly period in PT for the calendar year April to March. The first half year period is April to September, that required to be paid in the month of September. And the second half half year period is October to March, that required to be paid, before March end.

As far as Tamil Nadu concerned, PT has to be deducted as per the slab rate of respective Corporations / Municipality / Panchayat. The rate of PT will get differ from Corporations to Corporations. Based on your branch office located, you need to deduct the payment and to remit.

Before getting into the remittance, you have to registered your establishment and the unique registration code will be allotted to your establishment, for Employer and Employees Remittances.

Pragnaa shall support you to get registered your establishment and arrange for the remittance of PT.

In case, you are looking for any professional support, please write to us.

There are states where there is no PT e.g. Haryana and .Delhi. First you have to find as to where the tax is applicable and then the amount and periodicity and other formalities like registration, filing reports, etc.and place where the tax has to be deposited and then act accordingly.

As mentioned above you have to check the applicability of Professional Tax with all the States where your Branches are situated, get the registration done and deduct the PT as applicable to the said employee of that State.
