Professional Tax (PT) is a state-imposed tax on salaried individuals, professionals, freelancers, and businesses.
It is governed by the respective state’s Commercial Taxes Department and varies across different states.
Employers are responsible for deducting PT from employee salaries and remitting it to the government.
All businesses employing salaried individuals in PT-applicable states must register.
Self-employed professionals like doctors, CAs, architects, and freelancers also need to register if they exceed the income threshold.
Registration is mandatory within 30 days of hiring or commencing professional services.
No, it is applicable in select states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and others.
States like Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh do not impose Professional Tax.
Our team helps you verify your compliance obligations based on your business location.
Non-registration can lead to a penalty of ₹5–₹50 per day of delay.
Late payment of PT can attract interest up to 2% per month and a penalty of up to 25% of the tax due.
Consistent non-compliance may trigger legal notices or audits by state tax authorities.
You typically need PAN, address proof, employer ID proof, employee list with salary details, and bank account details.
Some states also require digital signature certificates or professional qualification proofs.
We help prepare and file all documentation online or offline, depending on your state.
Registration usually takes between 3–7 working days, depending on the state's online portal and document clarity.
Some states may require physical verification, while others offer instant digital certificates.

It is calculated based on monthly salary slabs defined by the respective state government.
