Dear Dilip,
As Professional tax is always state specific and the definitionof salary or wages may vary from state to state.
But on a general basis following is the definition :
Salary or Wages includes pay, dearness allowance and all other remunera­tions including allowances received by any person on a regular basis 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 (No. 43 of 1961) but does not include bonus in any form and on any account, gratuity and pension]
On the basis , all the components of the salry structure defined by you are [paid to the employees are paid on a regular basis. Hence Professional tax shall be levied on The gross salry and not on Basic only.
I think your query s very much clear.
Revert for any clarification.

Professional tax depends on state & the slab of wages. The wages in PF includes all salary components. regards Amit
From India, New Delhi

Professional tax levied on gross salary, not on basic salary.
the new slab as follows. PT is Rs.150 for Rs.10,000 & above gross sal & Rs.200 for 15000 and above
The professional tax depends on states.

Hi all,

I have a query. I am working with a CA firm in Gujarat, and they pay salaries by cheques to the employees. Currently, there are no deductions from the salary for the approximately 20 employees. I would like to know the details of the following:

1. There is no salary structure like basic, HRA, DA, PF, etc. Is it important to have a structure and deduct PF? If not done, could there be any legal actions or difficulties?
2. No professional tax is being paid. Is it compulsory to pay, and if yes, how should I start?
3. Does having a proper salary structure help employees save on income tax?

Please reply. I am confused and cannot find the right direction.
