Hi, this is Ramesh. I have a query regarding Professional Tax.
- If a person is present for 15 days or less, is he liable to pay professional tax?
- If a person is present for more than 15 days, is he liable for the same?
Please guide me in this matter at the earliest. I am waiting for your replies.

I have one case in my office: one of my colleagues was present for 14 days last month, and our HR deducted Professional Tax of Rs. 175. His gross salary is Rs. 11,000, and according to the salary working, his in-hand salary comes to approximately Rs. 6,500.
Professional Tax Deduction Query
Firstly, my question is, should his Professional Tax be deducted or not? If yes, then how much, because to my knowledge, it should be Rs. 200.
Please reply.

Hi Ramesh PT changes between State to State. In Karnataka if total gross is 11000/- then tax is Rs. 150/-. If salary comes to Rs 6500/- then no tax

Thank you for reaching out. This seems to be a case from Maharashtra, and I would like to clarify this issue. If a person has newly joined the organization, for example, on the 17th of March, are they liable for P.T. deductions for that particular month or not?

Professional Tax Calculation for Maharashtra State
PT is calculated on earned gross salary and is applicable to all employees. Here is the calculation for Maharashtra State:
- Earned Gross:
- 0 - 5000: PT is 0 (No PT deducted)
- 5001 - 10000: PT would be 175 Rs.
- 10001 and Above: PT would be 200 Rs.
PT is not related to new or old employees; it is related to their total gross earnings for that month. If the earned gross salary varies, then PT would also vary.
Hope this resolves your doubt.
