Is Professional Tax Deduction Fair When Monthly Earnings Drop? Seeking Clarity

Saketha C

Hello Seniors,

I have a doubt on PT Calculation. One of the employees' salaries in our organization is Rs. 25,000/-. So, every month Rs. 200/- is being deducted from his salary as PT.

He has LOPs in the month of December, and his earned gross for the month of December is only Rs. 7,600/-. My question is, should PT be deducted from his salary even if his earned gross is less for that particular month? Please clarify.

Thanks in Advance,
Saketha

No, in case of reduced earnings in a month for any reasons, PT cannot be deducted if it is less than the prescribed limit.
