Dear Babuvittal,
There is no exemption on professional tax for having one child or two child. The exemption comes only when your gross salary is less than Rs.3500/- per month.

The exemption limit raised to Rs.5000/- w.e.f. 01.08.2008. Again, Exemption limit raised to Rs.10,000/- in the recent State Budget.
