Thanks for your reply. No, I'm not receiving benefits like ESIC, PF, or TDS in my current service. I have been on leave for 2 months, but now the employer is saying that I have to pay two months' professional tax in the current month.

If you are not being paid for an entire month, then you are not liable to pay Professional Tax under State Law on Professional Tax as amended from time to time by the state government.

Any deduction from salary is done from gross earnings. Professional Tax is a deduction from your gross earnings. It seems you are from Mumbai.
Professional Tax in Maharashtra
In Maharashtra, you are liable to pay Professional Tax as follows:
- Nil if your gross earnings are up to Rs. 5000/- per month.
- Rs. 175/- if your gross earnings are from Rs. 5001 to Rs. 10000/-.
- Rs. 200/- (or Rs. 300/- in February) if your gross earnings are Rs. 10001/- and above.
I hope you got the answer to your query.

Dear Deepali Ji, as my friends suggested, you need not pay any PT for those two months as you have not earned anything. Even if you earn and if it is below Rs. 10,000, you need not pay anything. Ask your employer to go through the Act and come out with a clear picture on the deductions.
