Salary includes all emoluments paid to an employee but excludes dearness allowance which is not included in the computation for retirement benefits, allowance which are exempt from tax, value of perquisites under section 17(2), employerâ??s contribution to PF and lump sum payments received on retirement. PRofessional tax is the obligation of employee paid by employer and hence a perquisite and excluded.

So ..is this wrong? Pl clarify

Amount actually paid during the year. However, if professional tax is paid by the employer on behalf of its employee than it is first included in the salary of the employee as a perquisite and then same amount is allowed as deduction.
