Can anybody please help me out to understand whether "Overtime" amount is covered under "Gross salary"?
Ex :- If person A's salary is Rs.7200/- and he earned overtime amount of Rs. 600/-.
So, Do I consider his gross salary as Rs. 7800/- for deduction of Professional Tax of Rs. 175/-
OR Do I consider his gross salary as Rs. 7200/- and no PT deduction?
Please advice

OT will have to be included to work out PT.

amount received by way of arrears of salary or bonus by whatever name
called whether payable in cash or kind and also includes perquisites and
profits in lieu of salary as defined in section 17 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

There is no Profession Tax act at national level.
So you need to see the profession tax of the state you work in.
Check the definition in the act to find out whether overtime is a part of definition of gross wages

Normally Over time is not considered as part of the salary or wage as it is not an allowance that is universally received by all employees as it is only those who work over time, will receive it and then there are many Acts both in respect of employment and Tax which define wages or salary differently for different purposes.Therefore you need to look into the specific Act, as the learned members above stated, to understand whether OT is treated as part of salary or income for the purpose of the said Act.As Saswata said Professional Tax Act is a State Act and you need to see your State Act to know whether to include OT for PT deduction or not.

Salary includes pay or wages, dearness allowance and all other remunerations received by any person on a regular basis, whether payable in cash or in kind. It includes perquisites and profit in lieu of salary as defined in Section 17 of Income Tax Act, 1961, but does not include bonus in any form and account or gratuity. Overtime received is a part of salary. Even food subsidy falls within the scope of salary.
