Professional Tax Registration
Stay compliant with state professional tax rules. Aidwish handles your PTEC and PTRC registration and ongoing professional tax filing.
What is professional tax?
Professional tax is a state-level tax levied on salaried employees, professionals, and businesses. Employers must deduct it from employee salaries and deposit it with the state government (PTRC), and businesses/professionals must pay it on their own account (PTEC). It applies in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Gujarat, and many others — though not in states like Uttar Pradesh.
The amount is small (capped at ₹2,500 per year in most states), but non-compliance attracts penalties and interest. Aidwish handles your professional tax registration and ongoing compliance correctly for your state.

Questions, answered
Is professional tax applicable in every state?
No — professional tax is levied by individual states. States like Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, and Gujarat levy it, while states like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana do not.
What is the difference between PTEC and PTRC?
PTEC (Professional Tax Enrolment Certificate) is for the business/professional to pay their own professional tax. PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) is for employers to deduct and deposit professional tax from employee salaries.
How much is professional tax?
It is a small amount, capped at ₹2,500 per year in most states, with slabs based on income or salary.
What happens if I don't register?
Non-registration and non-payment attract penalties, interest, and possible prosecution. The cost of compliance is far lower than the penalties.
