Hi,
I want to know All rule regulation of Punjab Professional tax with Slab rate and how to deduct from employee if employe pt state is Punjab
Sir,
Our PSDT Registration no. is AAATD0495L00009. While filing annual return for the year 2019-20, it is found that challan for the month of April 2019 has been shown two time, for the month of May two times, June four times and august two times. Thus six challans were shown more and amount of Rs.49,200/- has been shown excess paid, but we have deposited on required amount. Question is what to do now so as to file annual return.
Thanks with regards.
