How Do I Calculate Professional Tax for a Chennai Employee Earning Rs. 35,000 Monthly in 2019?

Rutuja-HR
Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how to calculate the professional tax of an employee based in Chennai.

For example, Mr. X draws a gross salary of Rs. 35,000 for each of the 6 months in 2019. What will be the professional tax deducted from his salary as of 2019?

Please suggest.
