Understanding Professional Tax Rates Across India: How Do They Differ by State?

Professional Tax Rates in Maharashtra and Other States

The professional tax rates vary across different states in India. It is advisable to refer to the official government websites or contact the respective state authorities for the most up-to-date information on professional tax rates.

The GR is yet to be published. Please follow the old rates, i.e., up to Rs. 5,000 = 0, from 5,001 to 10,000 = 175, and from 10,000 onwards = 200.

Guys, one thing I want to know... If my salary is ₹18,000 per month, I am getting my full salary every month with a ₹200 deduction for Professional Tax. Last month, I took an advance payment of ₹25,000 from the company. Now, I want to deduct/return the advance from my salary in full, i.e., ₹18,000. Am I still applicable to have a deduction of ₹200 for Professional Tax? Since I am not taking any salary from the company and deducting the full advance (₹25,000 - ₹18,000 = ₹7,000) next month, could you guys guide me, please?
