Frequently Asked Questions
No. Professional Tax is levied only by states that have enacted PT laws. Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and several north-eastern states levy PT. Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana do not. Odisha abolished PT from 1 April 2026.
The maximum Professional Tax payable is ₹2,500 per year (Article 276(2) of the Constitution). Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala collect the full ₹2,500 at the top slab; some states (e.g. West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat) stop at ₹2,400 (₹200/month).
Only in the old tax regime. PT paid is deductible from salary under Section 16(iii) (Income-tax Act 1961 name). Under the new tax regime (s.202, old 115BAC), which is the default for FY 2026-27, the PT deduction is not allowed.
Your employer deducts PT from your salary and deposits it with the state government. Self-employed professionals need to register and pay PT directly.
Failure to pay PT can attract penalties and interest. Employers who fail to deduct and remit PT can face notices from state tax authorities.
