Such employers shall furnish quarterly return within 30 days of expiry of each quarter and pay tax before filing such return. Other employers having annual tax liability exceeding Rupees three thousand shall furnish quarterly returns within 30 days of expiry of each quarter and make monthly payment of tax within 21 days of the next month in respect of the first two months of each quarter.

Tax is to be deposited in the specified Banks/ Treasury. Challans shall be in quadruplicate of which two receipted copies will be returned by the Bank/ Treasury to the taxpayer, out of which one copy has to be submitted by him to the Profession Tax Office.
