Understanding Professional Tax Deductions in Tamil Nadu: What Are the Yearly and Monthly Rates?

Professional Tax

How much deduction is applied on a yearly and monthly basis under the Factories Act rules and regulations in Tamil Nadu?

Professional Tax Deduction

Professional tax deduction is Rs. 2500 per year and Rs. 200 per month. Is this effective now?

To my knowledge, Professional Tax is not governed by the provisions of the Factories Act or the Regulations, but rather on the basis of the norms laid down by the respective State Government. Unlike other states where PT is levied by the Commercial Tax Department, in Tamil Nadu (and Kerala), the levy is collected by the Local Bodies.
