Confused About Professional Tax Deduction Criteria? Seeking Advice on Salary Thresholds

Hello All,

I am an HR professional in one of the reputed companies, and I am a little confused regarding the professional tax deduction criteria. In my company, a person who is receiving a salary of Rs. 15,000 per month has to pay his professional tax, whereas the set rules state that a person paid above Rs. 15,000 per month will have his professional tax deducted.

I want to know if we should continue deducting that amount or have a word with my seniors regarding it.

Thanks

I can see that you are from Indore, hence MP Ptax rules will apply. As per MP PTax rules, you need to deduct Ptax (Rs. 208 and Rs. 212 slab).

Hope this clarifies your doubts.
