State-wise Professional Tax registration, payroll deduction, returns and employer filings — with slabs confirmed before the first run.
Professional Tax is a state levy capped at ₹2,500 a year. Some states collect monthly, some half-yearly, some annually. Maharashtra splits men and women. Tamil Nadu is collected by local bodies. Punjab calls it State Development Tax. Odisha repealed the levy in 2026.
We confirm the work state, local body and current schedule before anyone is deducted. The same payroll file that produces PF and salary TDS should produce PT, not a separate workbook.
Employers remain responsible for registration (PTRC / PTEC or the local-body equivalent), deduction and payment. We prepare the workings, returns and the trail that sits behind them.
Article 276 of the Constitution caps the tax. Beyond that, every levying state writes its own Act, slab and calendar. Treating every employee as a flat ₹200 a month will be wrong in Karnataka below ₹25,000, in Kerala on a half-year basis, and for women in Maharashtra up to ₹25,000.
Select a state, see salary bands, tax and frequency, and match a monthly salary to the published band.
Greater Chennai Corporation is shown as a reference. Coimbatore, Madurai and other bodies set their own slabs within the half-year ceiling.
PT is processed with PF, ESI and salary TDS so the payslip, challan and return tell the same story.
No. Several states and union territories do not levy it. Where it is levied, the slab and payment frequency differ. We confirm the current position for each work location before deducting.
The Odisha Act was repealed in 2026. We do not deduct PT for the current financial year there. Keep records for earlier periods.
Yes. The Professional Tax slab calculator under Resources lists state-wise bands. It is educational — confirm the current notification before you file.
