I need help in calculating Professional Tax interest + penalty. I am delayed in taking PTEC ID. Details are:
Started work on December 2013 Took PTEC ID this month, April 2016 ID certificate says: ". . .pay tax for un-enrolled period at Rs 5K immediately for Year 01-04-2013 to 31-03-2015 Rs 2500/- each year + Interest and penalty applicable as per law Rs. 2500/- on or before 17-Apr-16 for year 2015-206 (current year) and Rs. 2500/- per annum on or before 30-June of every year. . . ."
My queries:
As the Rs. 2500/- figure is singular indication given. . .
Q#1: Does above wording mean total 2500/- for whole two years together or for each of those two years?
Q#2: Is wording saying penalty ONLY to be 2500/- or figure represents penalty + INTEREST?
Q#3: If the figure 2500/- is for two years together, while paying, should I mark that in second year in whole? And how will be calculation for split up of Rs. 2500 among INTEREST and PENALTY?

I understand from reading that penalty is for delay in obtaining PTEC ID and that in Maharashtra, that is Rs. 2/- per day. If this is the case, can I calculate penalty amount from my start day to day on which ID was taken and then assuming rest part of Rs. 2500/- to be interest!?
