Who Has to Pay It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Professional tax is a state levy on anyone who earns from a profession, trade, calling or employment, capped by the Constitution at INR 2,500 per person per year.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Employers deduct it from salaries and deposit it. The self-employed pay their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The power comes from Article 276 of the Constitution, which lets a state tax employment income without that being treated as a tax on income. The INR 2,500 ceiling is written into Article 276(2) itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two things changed for FY 2026-27 that most published guides have not caught up with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odisha abolished professional tax by ordinance, with effect from 1 April 2026. And Karnataka&#8217;s annual total is no longer INR 2,400, because February is now charged at a higher rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that did not change. The four Labour Codes that took effect on 21 November 2025 did not touch professional tax. Those Codes consolidate central labour laws, and professional tax is a state tax statute. In fact the Code on Wages expressly permits the deduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the wider picture, see<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankhapay.com\/blog\/how-labour-codes-affect-payroll-compliance\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how India&#8217;s new Labour Codes affect payroll compliance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Professional_Tax_Deductible_From_Income_Tax\"><\/span>Is Professional Tax Deductible From Income Tax?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Yes, in full, but only if the employee is on the old regime.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The section number changed on 1 April 2026, and this is the single most common error in published content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional tax paid is deductible from salary income under <\/span><b>section 19(1), Table Serial Number 1 of the Income-tax Act, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Under the old Income Tax Act, 1961, this was section 16(iii).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no monetary cap on the deduction. The statute allows the entire amount paid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The catch is section 202(2)(a) of the 2025 Act, which disallows this deduction under the default regime. An employee who has not opted out of the default regime gets no benefit from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_States_Charge_Professional_Tax_in_FY_2026-27\"><\/span>Which States Charge Professional Tax in FY 2026-27?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Around twenty states and union territories levy it, and the list changed this year.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Odisha left it.

The Finance Department then wrote to all drawing and disbursing officers, directing them to stop deducting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A word of caution. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an ordinance under Article 213 that ceases to operate unless the State Legislature enacts it into an Act. Verify the status from the Law Department of Odisha before considering the repeal permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The repeal also carries a savings clause. Any liability, payment or return for a period before 1 April 2026 still stands, and arrears remain recoverable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So deductions stop from April 2026, but earlier filings do not go away.

Maharashtra and Karnataka both reach exactly that figure by charging INR 200 for eleven months and INR 300 in February.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_states_professional_tax_applies_to_a_remote_employee\"><\/span>Which state&#8217;s professional tax applies to a remote employee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional tax is based on the location of work and not the payroll location. In this case, the state that the individual works from is the state that applies to him\/her. This is because rules vary from state to state and some states use local authorities to impose professional tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_both_a_registration_and_an_enrolment_certificate\"><\/span>Do I need both a registration and an enrolment certificate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually yes. The registration certificate covers tax you deduct from employees. The enrolment certificate covers the tax the business owes in its own right. A company employing staff needs both, and Kerala is the notable exception with no certificate regime at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_professional_tax_still_payable_in_Odisha\"><\/span>Is professional tax still payable in Odisha?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not, since 1 April 2026, when the repealing ordinance came into effect. It being an ordinance and not an Act, please check with the Law Department on the current status. The liability for previous periods will remain unaffected due to the savings clause.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_the_new_Labour_Codes_affect_professional_tax\"><\/span>Do the new Labour Codes affect professional tax?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. The Labour Codes consolidate central labour laws, and professional tax is a state tax. The Code on Wages expressly lists statutory levies payable to a state government among the permitted deductions from wages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_exempt_from_professional_tax\"><\/span>Who is exempt from professional tax?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each exemption is unique to the state. There is no federal list for exemptions. Military and disabled individuals have an exemption in most states levying personal property tax. It seems age-related exemptions are claimed widely in published material but were not verified for some states, hence it is advisable to check the notice for your state.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Should_Multi-State_Employers_Handle_This\"><\/span>How Should Multi-State Employers Handle This?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The difficulty with professional tax is not the amount. It is that a company operating in six states is running six different rulebooks on six different calendars.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One is annual, one is half-yearly, four are monthly, and the due dates do not line up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three behaviors will avoid all the trouble. Always document the effective date alongside each slab you build. Double-check each state in April when revisions will happen. You should also consider your portal check as final and not any table out there, even this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where a state&#8217;s own site still serves a superseded schedule, as Karnataka&#8217;s does, the notification is what governs, not the PDF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To map your state footprint against current slabs, registration status and deadlines,<\/span> <a href=\"tel:+919891988811\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book a Strategy Call<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with TankhaPay&#8217;s compliance team.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid #004899; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; margin: 20px 0;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TankhaPay, created by Akal Information Systems \u2013 a company with 26 years\u2019 experience in payroll and statutory compliance and CMMI Level 5, ISO 9001, ISO 20000, and ISO 27001 certifications \u2013 integrates a payroll system, payroll outsourcing service, EOR service, NATS apprenticeship management, and global talent mobility solutions on one platform.
