Why is there no deduction for PT, even when the state is correctly updated?

[Empxtrack user]

I am processing payroll in Empxtrack. There is no deduction for professional tax (PT) even when I have added the state as Karnataka (where PT is applicable). Can you help?

It is recommended to check the salary of your employee. As per the latest professional tax deduction rules in 2023, the exemption limit is increased from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000. If your employee’s salary is less than Rs. 25,000, there won’t be any PT deduction.

Secondly, you should verify in the employee profile that the state is mentioned correctly and the state value is not -1.



Thirdly, make sure that you have set the right rule in payroll configuration. Go to Product configurations >> Company settings >> Select Depends on state under Deduct professional tax
