27 April 2010 Can any reply on the following issue:

since professional tax @ Rs. 200 is to be deducted every month in case of salary is Rs. 10k or above a month, but in case salary fall below Rs. 10k for a particular month (in case of absence), what should be deduction on account of professional tax for that particular month, it should be deducted @ Rs. 175/- or Rs. 200/- ...
further in all other month salary is in excess of rs. 10k..

this is asked for compliance of professional tax.
