Dear All.
Thanks for your comments.
Now regarding other words:
4. PT (Professional Tax): Professional Tax is tax imposed on the salaried people working govt.or nongovt offices. professionalTax deducted from the salary of working class is payable to the concerned State Govt where the employees office / company situated. But not all the state govt imposed professional Tax. the rate is depends on the states. Like Income tax is a revenue earned by Govt. of India, Professional Tax is a revenue earned by State Govt. In some states there is no p/tax. Profeesional tax is a source of revenue through those who comes under the jurisdiction of professional tax such as CA,CS,lawyer,technical, software services who earn their income through rendering professional service/s.
There are various slabs of p/tax according to the pay range in different State of India.(since I am not a finance professional I cant contribute more).
5. Payroll: In a company, payroll is financial presentation of salaries for all employees, wages, bonuses and deductions. In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they provided during a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a company for several reasons. The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and to ensure the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from a paycheck. From the HR point of view Payroll is very much necessary to take future decisions related to Human Resouce Planning, Recruitment and Wages & Salry administration/preparation. Its also help us in taking decision whether to and how much the increament an employee shud enhanced. There are basically two types of management is used for Payroll. 1. Manually (traditional) 2. Computerised.
7. Medical benefits: Medical benifits depends upon the Company's HR Policy. As per Factories Act there is provision for medical facilities but medical benifits are beyond these medical facilities like cash less medicine provided to employees, free medical treatment at outdoor, medical leaves, Medical Bill reimbursement on submission of actual documents, etc.
