💡 Professional Tax in India
Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax deducted by employers from employee salaries. It's capped at ₹2,500 per year (₹200-₹250/month maximum) by constitutional provision, though actual amounts vary by state and salary slab.
Not all states levy professional tax. Major states that do include Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Odisha. PT is deductible under Section 16 of the Income Tax Act.
Maharashtra: ₹200/month for salary above ₹10,000 (₹300 in February) = ₹2,500/year. Karnataka: ₹200/month for salary above ₹15,000 = ₹2,400/year. Both are fully deductible from taxable income.
