Professional Tax is a State Tax. So it has to be paid to the State after deducting from the Salary of those employee of the Company working at the Branch Office. The professional tax collected from Mumbai cannot be paid to West Bengal State Goverment at Kolkota.

It is absolutely a case of default. Pay the PT relating to MUmbai employees at Mumbai. Interest is payable for late payment @ 15% pa simple int. Presently as a policy the Government of Maharashtra does not levy penalty as a matter of policy if the compliance is voluntary though late
