Salary Deduction Dilemma: Should Professional Tax Be Adjusted for Reduced Pay?

Dear HR Team,

In A.P., if an employee's gross salary is 15500/- P.M., then the P.T. is 150/- as per slab. If the employee earned a salary of only 14000/- due to loss of pay in a particular month, should we deduct the P.T. of 150/- from his salary or not? Please provide clarity on this matter.

Thank you.

Dear HR Team,

In accordance with the Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) regulations, if an employee's gross salary is Rs. 15,500 per month, the Professional Tax (P.T.) deduction is Rs. 150 based on the applicable slab. If the employee's salary for a specific month is only Rs. 14,000 due to a loss of pay, the question arises whether the P.T. deduction of Rs. 150 should still be applied. Please provide clarification on this matter.

Thank you.

Dear HR Team,

In AP, if an employee's gross salary is 15500/- per month, then the PT is 150/- as per the slab. If the employee earned a salary of only 14000/- due to loss of pay in a particular month, do we need to deduct the PT of 150/- from his salary or not? Please provide clarity on this.

Thank you.

Hi Veerabathini,

As per the Professional Tax Act, we should deduct the P.T on earned salary only. You need to follow the slabs to deduct the P.T.
