Hi All,

I'm Girish, working as an HR Executive in an IT company. I have a doubt regarding professional tax. I'm new to this company, and in our company, we are deducting professional tax from employees who are earning below 10,000/-. However, I have learned that professional tax should be deducted from employees earning 10,000/- and above.

1. What is the exact wage ceiling for professional tax?
2. Does professional tax differ between manufacturing sectors and other sectors?

Please clarify my doubts.

Thanks and Regards,
Girish

Professional tax is credited to local bodies viz. Grama Panchayat, Municipality, and Municipal Corporation. It may differ from state to state. In Kerala, there is no ceiling. It is deducted slabwise based on the income. It is common to all sectors.

Hello Girish,

Professional tax is the same for all sectors. Please find the professional tax slab of Andhra Pradesh:

- Rs.5001 to 6000: Rs. 60
- Rs.6001 to 10000: Rs. 80
- Rs.10001 to 15000: Rs. 100
- Rs.15001 to 20000: Rs. 150
- More than Rs. 20000: Rs. 200

Thanks & Regards,

In Maharashtra, it starts from 2501/-. There is no profession tax for a salary up to 2500/- monthly.

2501 - 3500 ------ 60/-

3501 - 5000 ------ 120/-

5001 - 10000 ----- 175/-

10001 onwards ----- 2500/- annually in which every month 200, and in Feb, it is 300/-.

Before 2 years, it was like this. If not changed, then the profession tax is as mentioned above.

Dear Girish,

Since professional tax rates vary among different states, it will be challenging to provide any specific advice. Please inform me of your location and where the company is registered.
