My sister was working in a school till 2006.. for which Profession tax (PT)was deducted
then she left her school and joined some yoga course for 2 years or so..for this period, no Profession tax was paid..and during such time ,She was only earning interest income and her income tax returns were filed regularly which showed only interest income
Now in the year Jan 2009,she started getting professional fees..so we decided to pay up PT now in the year April 2010
the one who manages PT told us that you have to Pay it from 2006 onwards..
when i got all the proof and documents of her whole working and non- working history,i was told that they will not consider all these documentation which includes income tax returns and computation s,salary certificates(when working only) for all the years..
i was advised that since she did not intimate to the department that she is no more working,they will consider her as working so u have to pay up
the fact is she is getting registered for the first time now and before her school used to deduct it..why does she become liable for paying up PT when she has not worked at all..
Please advice me as to whether i should be paying such a huge amt which will be more than 10000..
