Professional tax query

Dear Friends,

The professional tax in gujarat is applicable on payment basis or due basis?

For example:-
If a new employee joined the company in October 2011 but due to some reasons his salary for Oct-11 (Rs.20,000/-)could not be processed and he got his Oct-11 salary with Nov-11 salary as arrears (Rs.20,000/- + Rs. 20,000/- = Rs. 40,000/-).

1. In the above condition, do we need to deduct Rs. 200/- only for Professional Tax from employee's salary?
2. or we need to deduct Rs. 400/- (Rs.200/- for Nov. Salary and Rs. 200/- for arrear salary of Oct.)?

Kindly give you valuable feedback and resolve my query.

Thanks in advance.
