P tax applicable or not for 10 days working

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether Professional Tax (PT) is applicable when an employee works for only part of a month. The consensus is that PT is calculated based on the salary earned during the month, not necessarily the amount drawn. If the earned salary falls below the threshold limit for PT deduction, then no tax needs to be deducted, even if the employee was absent for a significant period.
