PT slabs vary by state. Maharashtra levies Rs 200 per month for employees earning above Rs 10,000 per month (Rs 300 in February to reach Rs 2,500 annual). Karnataka has a different slab structure. Zoho Payroll has built-in PT slabs for all states that levy PT. The correct slab is applied automatically based on the employee’s work location state configured in their profile.
Employers are required to obtain a PT registration certificate in each state where they have employees. They must deduct PT from employee salaries, remit it to the state government, and file periodic returns. Frequencies and due dates vary by state (monthly or semi-annual). Zoho Payroll generates PT computation reports to support remittance and filing.
