Reimbursement For A Ex Employee

hello to all,
i am new to this field.
i am working for a company and designing the HR department for the company. there is a employee who has resigned and now claims that will require the refund of the Professional Tax. I wish to know do we have to reimburse the amount of Professional tax to him and what else do we have to reimburse to him.
regards,
geetanjali shetty.

Hi Geetanjali,
Professional Tax is a tax levied by State Govt.on income earned by the way of profession, trade, calling or employment. Hence any income which an employee has earned falls under professional tax and shall be deposited to state department. PT slabs vary from state to state and available online easily.
Now the question is he a resigned employee and under notice or he has already left and he claims on the F&F. What ever the case may be PT according to the state slab has to be deducted.

As rightly mentioned by Niraj Professional tax are levied as per the Salary Slab or rate structure which varies from state to state. The Professional Tax can be set off against the Taxable Salary at the time of Final TDS calculation.

Either resigned employee or the employee who is on rolls don't have any right for refund of any such amount ( ESI / PF / Professional tax / Labour welfare fund ) deposited under statutory obligation are non-refundable. In case of PF they need to go through proper channel and directly get paid by the authorities concerned hence straight away reject & in case creates any nuisance try to persuade or else lodge a complaint with local police.

Dear Miss Geetanjali Shetty, you have stated that you are new to Job.nevertheless, verify from your records, Whether PT Deducted from Employee concerned has been remitted to Govt Concerned. By this time you should have done this.What do you mean by reimbursement? any reimbursement amount due to the Employee as per the terms of Appointment?Please revert with your observation
