Professional Tax Confusion: Do We Need to Deduct PT for Remote Employees in Other Cities?

I work with an organization based in Delhi, but a few of our employees are working in Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Are we required to deduct and pay Professional Tax (PT) for these employees? We have only one office in Delhi; we do not have any registered offices in the other locations.

If these employees are appointed for your registered office and deputed to various locations, then you need not deduct any PT for states, except for your state from where the salary is processed and they are hired. Secondly, if their payroll is processed at every location, then location-wise PT will be applicable.

In my considered opinion, the company is required to make arrangements to deduct the professional in accordance with the norms the employees are working/posted and remit the same to the account of the authority concerned.
