Hello All,
I would like to seek your guidance & assistance regarding the below issue/concern which we are facing in our Organization :
I work for a company in Mumbai and for the state of Maharashtra there is a Professional Tax Applicable which is deducted from our earnings every month. Its Rs.200 for 11 months and Rs.300 for February totalling to an annual figure of Rs.2500.
But in my company the PT is deducted from the NET SALARY (take home salary)
Eg:
Gross Salary = 40000
- (Deductions) = 3000 (this deduction includes PF, gratuity and other small components)
NET SALARY = 37000 (this is the defined take home salary in our Offer Letter and Appointment Letter)
Now my company deducts Rs.200 from Rs.37000 which is my Net Salary so when the Salary is actually credited to my account at the end of every month we have a difference of Rs.200.
I would like to know is this the correct way to deduct Professional Tax ???? If its yes then I am wrong but if its not the correct way I need your help to let me know the Article & Clause in the Law which gives a clear indication regarding the Deductions of Professional Tax.
Your help will regarding this query will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
your tax is being calculated on your gross salary and the amount is remaining after PF & ESIC deduction , is your net or take home salary if there is any tax liability then it will deduct from this net salary only.

Hi,
Tax amount is never mentioned in the offer or appointment letter.
Company provides the calculation of "take home" salary, & then deducts the tax on your behalf. If you are expecting that offer letter should mention the taxes, then read the letter again.
There must be a sentence stating that the tax arising from this salary will be deducted as per tax rules of india.
Going beyond the professional taxes, the income tax (as it will be applicable to you, if your salary is 40K/month) can also be deducted from this salary & then it is called "Net Salary".
If your salary slip indicates otherwise, then you can check with your finance department about the proper wording in the salary slip.
Best Regards,
Amod.

In nutshell your company is not doing anything illegal, they are doing what they are supposed to. Professional Tax is deductible from the Salary

The employee is responsible to pay the tax like PT, TDS and it the responsibility of the employer to deduct from your salary in time and paid. In the appointment letter the employer may highlight only statutory deductions like EPF, ESIC, and SWWF.
