Navigating Karnataka's Professional Tax: How to Get Your User ID and Register Employees Online

kalyan-kumar-ghosh
For a new company, Professional Tax Registration for Karnataka has been done online on the e-Prerana portal using Form 2, and a certificate of enrollment has been obtained in Form 4 (downloaded from the portal).

What I want to know is:

a) How does one get the registered user ID and password - does one have to visit the department in person?

b) What is the process of getting registration for employees?

c) Do employees have to submit annual returns?
