Are Nursing and Technical Staff in Healthcare Subject to Professional Tax? Let's Clarify

Greetings for the day.

Professional Tax in the Healthcare Sector

In the healthcare sector, do nursing staff and technical staff work under the cover of professional tax? Please clarify.

Normally, all individuals who earn income are expected to pay a professional tax. However, some state governments (this falls under the purview of local self-government, and therefore, there is no central law governing it) have exempted certain occupations and individuals, such as ex-servicemen and persons with disabilities, from the provisions of the Act. Thus, it is advisable to verify whether any special considerations are extended to the healthcare sector and professionals working in the healthcare industry.
