Professional Tax [Thread 498956]

Hello sir,
I have query regarding deduction Of P.Tax.
If X gross salary is Rs 7500/- But Joined middle of the month & earned salary is below Rs 5000/- what should i do?Deduction of Rs175 is right or not?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
No, if employee total earning is less than 5000 then should not deduct P.TAX, there is no matters of employee joining.
if employee joins middle of the month and his total earning is more than 5000 then he is applicable for PT deductions.

Dear Pradnya,
As said by Ravi, professional tax always applicable on it monthly earned wages. For example if an employee's monthly salary is 40000/- and he was earned in any of month of Rs. 4000/- ,then no deduction is applicable on that specific month.
