Would like to know if Professional tax (Karnataka) is to be deducted from employees irrespective of their resignation from employment, i.e., suppose an employee resigns on 15th Jan and the salary for 15 days is settled along with Jan payroll, and as part of final settlement again some additional amount towards Bonus, Leave Encashment etc is paid in Feb.
Question is whether to deduct the Professional tax for Jan month if salary exceeds 10000 or 15000, as well as Feb month if bonus and other dues exceeds 10000 or 15000.

I shall suggest that the amount of PT can be deducted for Rs.200 (highest slab) and remitted in the month of January as for all practical purposes the employee is resigned and final settlement done and there shall be only postponement in the actual date of payment.
