Dear All,
Please guide me about Chennai Professional Tax deduction. I googled it, but there is a lot of confusion. One of my friends is saying there would be no deduction if the employee is getting less than Rs. 21,000 per month, while another is saying this Rs. 21,000 is for 6 months.
Please advise.

Hi,
It is not monthly income. If the Average Half-Yearly Income is 21,000/- or less, then there is no professional tax. Please note that besides salary, any other perks like food allowance or weekend allowance will also attract professional tax.
Sl. No. Average Half-Yearly Income Half-yearly Profession Tax w.e.f. 01.04.2018 Rs.
1 Up to 21,000 -- NIL
2 21,001 - 30,000 135/-
3 30,001 - 45,000 315/-
4 45,001 - 60,000 690/-
5 60,001 - 75,000 1025/-

Hi,
Whatever earned gross income, including any food allowance or special allowances, for 6 months will be considered for Professional tax.
"Half-year" shall be from the 1st day of April to the 30th day of September and from the 1st day of October to the 31st day of March of a year.
