How to apply for PT registration in Karnataka as there is no branch office?

Would like to know if there is no branch office in the state where the employees are based out and performing their duties, in such scenario will the professional tax applicable? For example, company ABC having its head office in Mumbai and they have employees PAN India. Company has its branch offices in Gujarat & West Bengal but not in Karnataka. And there are sales employees who are local and hired to operate from Bangalore (Karnataka) only. Now for Karnataka, Is the company liable to deduct the professional tax from Karnataka employees as per Karnataka PT slab where there is no office. If Yes than how the company will apply for PT registration in Karnataka as there is no branch office.

or the company should deduct PT as per Maharashtra slab and deposit the same with Maharashtra authority?

or the employer need not to deduct the PT since there is no branch in the Karnataka?

Kindly throw some light.

To the best of my belief you need to register for PT at Karnataka and deduct the PT for all the employees working in Karnataka, the same has to be deposited at their municipal corporation.

Thanks for your response. But would like to bring your kind notice that there is no branch office at Karnataka and for getting the PT registration the local office address is required. Kindly suggest

You can enter in to lease agreement with one of your contacts in Karnataka and apply for registration.

Shrikant has aptly answered you can take the help of any employee of yours working in Karnataka, to suffice the documents required for such registration.
