Dear Ms. Avanthig,
The Professional Tax is calculated based on the Gross Salary. The remittance period is monthly, with the due date for Andhra Pradesh being the 15th of every subsequent month. The tax slabs are categorized as follows:
- 0-5000: 0
- 5001-6000: 60
- 6001-10000: 80
- 10001-15000: 100
- 15001-20000: 150
- 20001-500000000: 200
Thank you.

Dear Ma'am,
I am confused about the PT slab for Gujarat state. I follow the below slab:
0 to 2999 = zero
3000 to 5999 = 20
6000 to 8999 = 80
9000 to 11999 = 150
12000 and above = 200
Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct?
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Balvant Dodiya, The slab that you’re currently following is accurate and the due date is the last date of subsequent month.

Dear Ma'am,
Thank you for your valuable reply.
Is the PT slab dependent on the state level?
I am confused if ESIC is applicable somewhere, as we are in the construction field, do we have to deduct PT according to that state?
We have one site located in Mumbai where ESIC applies. Do I have to deduct PT and submit it to the concerned authority?
Thank you,

Once an area is covered under ESI, then the Employer has to register and follow the same. Professional Tax (PT) is calculated on the total gross salary of six months. PT tax can be paid twice in a year - once in September and during March. The Professional Tax rate differs from state to state.

Thank you,
But still, I don't understand whether PT is applicable in an area where ESIC is applicable. The location I am talking about is already covered under ESIC, yet the client is asking for PT.
Awaiting your reply.

To be more precise and clarify it further, PT is a tax-exempted deduction from the employee, while ESI relates to employee insurance where both the employee and employer contribute. Both are different requirements that need to be fulfilled. Is there still any confusion regarding your query?

Dear Balwant,
PT and ESIC are different aspects. If your area is covered under ESIC, then the employer has to register and follow the same. In Gujarat, you have to deduct PT on Gross Salary and deposit the same at your nearest City Civic Center (Municipal Corporation) by the 15th of every subsequent month, or interest is charged at 18% per annum. For further details, contact your nearest city Civic Center.
PT slabs are as follows:
- 0 to 2999 = zero
- 3000 to 5999 = 20
- 6000 to 8999 = 80
- 9000 to 11999 = 150
- 12000 and above = 200
