A company has hired doctors who also run their own private practices and pay their own professional tax. The doctors are providing proof of payment and requesting the company not deduct professional tax from their salaries. The advice given is not to deduct the tax, but to obtain a declaration, PTEC certificate, and proof of payment (challan) from the doctors.
The company had hired Doctor's on the company's payroll and this doctor also runs their own practice. The doctor are paying annual professional tax directly to the government authority on their own practice service. They are providing the professional tax receipt to the employer and asking the company not to deduct the PT from their salary as they have already paid. What should the company do in this situation. Should they deduct the PT from the employees or they should not deduct the PT.? Please advice
