20 August 2011 if the person so employed is "professinoal" and paid his "professional tax" under enrollment, then company can ask him for copy of such challan, and will not deduct the professional tax on "fees" paid to him,

in absence of above the person so employed would be treated as regular employee and profession tax should be deducted and paid to department.
