Since the employment is with the HO where it is registered under the PT, then no matter where the employee works in India, it has to paid in the registered state only.

One more thing in not clear. Where from does that employee get his salary. From the respective state office or Head office. If HO then as said above, if state office, then you have register the branch and pay tax in the state.

Yes as my frined said the taxes are to be paid at the state where the registered office is situtated but if you have a benefit you can show that the tax is paid at the state where BO is situated and claim exempution.

Professional tax is a tax levied by states. It is state's income. The rates also differ from state to state. Depending of the place of work, PT has to be deducted and remitted to that particular state.
