Dear Sir,
I have joined in a private firm (Coimbatore,TamilNadu)as a PRO in Nov 2016.In the month of january 2016 the employer charged Rs.1250/- as professional tax for a period of six months (from Nov -Apr 2016) as per my tax slab.But I have drwan salary only for 3 months from the date of joining.In my knowledge, tax is to be fixed on the basis of earned salary.When I enquired about this,the employer said that tax is to be paid in advance.Is it legal?if Not what is to be done?Request your advice in this matter.
