Professional Tax

Professional tax is a state-level tax imposed on individuals earning income through their professions or employment in India. This tax obligation extends to various professionals in different sectors. For those in the category of salaried and wage earners, it's the responsibility of their employers to withhold and submit the professional tax amount to the respective state government. However, individuals falling into other categories are required to independently pay this tax. The precise calculation and the specific amount collected can vary between states, but there's a maximum limit set at INR 2500 per year.
