Professional Tax [Thread 601740]

Hi all, I am renuka. I work for an PSU in chennai. We have deployed employees through manpower agency. Agency people deduct professional tax for these employees whose salaries are below 21000. As per tamilnadu professional tax circular 2018-19, employees whose salaries are below 21000; amount for professional tax to be deducted is NIL. My query is - is there any possibility to get back the amount deducted (nearly 6 months) from the agency. If so, what is the procedure?

Bala,
You may have to read the PT document again. 21k is not monthly salary.

Hi Renuka,
It is Rs.21000/- of total gross wages for that particular 6 months (April-sept or Oct-Mar).
