Frequently Asked Questions
Why is TN PT paid half-yearly instead of monthly?
Tamil Nadu Town Panchayats Act prescribes half-yearly assessment (April-Sept, Oct-March). Most other states do monthly. The half-yearly approach reduces filing frequency for employers but means a larger one-time deduction each half-year.
