PT Deductions for Pan-India Hires: Should We Follow the Employee's State or Company's Origin?

Kindly help me with P.T. applicability. My company is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, but in the last two months, we started hiring employees on a pan-India basis. In this regard, I would like to know if the employee is based in West Bengal or any other state, should we deduct PT as per his state or as per the company's origin?

PT Registration Location

Where have you taken the PT registration, in Maharashtra or West Bengal? Also, where is the employee drawing their salary? Are they covering West Bengal on a tour or stationed there?

An employee working for a company located in X state, which has PTRC registration from that state, and where the salary sheet is made under the company name, will obviously have the PT of that state applicable.

P Tax Registration for Employees in West Bengal

If your employees work on a deputation/temporary basis, then there is no need to obtain a separate P tax registration. However, if employees work on a regular basis, you must acquire a separate P tax registration for West Bengal. There is an online registration process available.
