Understanding Professional Tax Calculation and Due Dates in Various Indian Cities

Hi all,

Please provide an explanation about the professional tax for employees. Is it a percentage or a fixed amount? Additionally, kindly share the professional tax details for Tamil Nadu.

With Regards, Sree A

Hi,

Professional tax is calculated based on the salary components such as basic, HRA, conv, and special allowances. There is no percentage limit; it will be calculated depending on the individual's monthly income. This deduction is done every six months, specifically in February and August.
