Dear Pinal, Professional Tax is payable on actual earned salary. If the employee worked for full month then it is on his/her gross salary. Regards, Suresh

15000-20000 150/-

As per the Andhra and Telangana state rules (as per current understanding, both the states follow the same rules), the deduction is based on salary/wage earned, monthly. The definition of wage/salary is as follows:
"Salary or wages" includes pay, wages, dearness allowances, and all other remuneration received by any assessee on a regular basis, whether payable in cash or kind. It also includes requisitions and profits in lieu of salary as defined in section 17 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, but does not include bonus in any form or on any account or gratuity.
