- Calculation of PTRC for Male employees with salary less than Rs. 7500 but not more than Rs. 10,000:
Only 1 employee is paid salary of less than 10000 the PTRC liability shall be as follows: = (175*12) = 2,100
- Calculation of PTRC for employees with salary more than Rs. 10,000:
In the above case 4 employees are getting salary of more than Rs. 10,000 but one of the employee is employed from October 2019 which will be calculated as below:
- The PTRC for 3 employees shall be as follows: [(200*11) + 300] X 3 = 7,500
- The PTRC for 1 employees shall be as follows: (200*5) + 300 = 1,300
Total PTRC liability of 4 employees shall be (a + b) = 7500 + 1300= 8,800
