Hi,

Please clarify for me the following: Is Professional Tax (PT) payable on the Fixed Gross Salary or the monthly earned gross?

For example, Mr. X's Gross salary has been fixed at Rs. 20,000/-. However, in a particular month, he only attended work for 15 days, resulting in his Gross salary being only Rs. 10,000/-. Now, is he eligible to pay PT of Rs. 200/- (since the fixed gross is Rs. 15,000 and above) or is no PT applicable since his earned Gross is below Rs. 15,000/-?

Regards,

Hi Santhosh PT is calculated on the monthly earned gross only. If at all any employee is earning the gross salary lesser than 15000/- in any of the month then PT shall be exempted for that month
