Understanding Mumbai's Professional Tax: How Do I Deduct and Pay It Correctly?

Dear Senior,

We have started our sales office at the Mumbai location. We have received the registration certificate for Shop & Establishment and also Professional Tax (PT). Now, we need to pay the professional tax to the Mumbai government. Could you please assist me with the PT slab for deducting PT from employees' salaries and the procedure for PT payment?

Regards, Sunil Prajapati
