Dear Sonali ji,

I appreciate your response. However, the information provided by you is specific to Maharashtra under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings, and Employments Act, 1975. Professional Tax is governed by state laws, and Kerala State has its own legislation. You will need to research the provisions outlined in the Kerala Law.

To the best of my knowledge, in Kerala, ex-servicemen are exempt from this tax. Although there is a notification regarding this exemption, I have been unable to locate it. Furthermore, Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) are also exempt from paying this tax in Kerala.
