In Maharashtra, for Professional Tax (P.T.), the due date for payment depends on when the salary is paid and not when it is due. Here’s a clear breakdown:
### **Professional Tax Due Date:**
1. **Payment Timeline:** - **If Salary is Paid in June:** - The due date for Professional Tax payment is generally the end of the month following the month in which the salary was paid.
2. **Specific Case:** - Since you paid April's salary in June, you are essentially paying the tax for the salary period of April in June.
### **Due Date Calculation:**
- **For Salary Paid in June (covering April):** - The payment should be made by **31st July**. This is because the due date for Professional Tax payment is typically the end of the month following the month in which the salary was actually paid.
### **Summary:**
- **Due Date:** Since you paid April’s salary in June, the due date for paying Professional Tax on that salary would be **31st July**.
It’s important to stay updated with the specific rules and notifications issued by the Maharashtra State Government regarding Professional Tax, as there can be variations in regulations or deadlines.
