Understanding Professional Tax (PT) Deductions
There is no restriction on the number of employees. It is the prerogative of the local municipal corporation to collect PT. Once a company is registered under the Shops & Establishments Act or The Factories Act in any municipal zone, the PT will have to be paid as per the local rules laid down by the local municipal corporation. The only criterion is the amount of take-home salary. Deduction by the employer and depositing it to the government treasury is mandatory.
For further information, you can get in touch with any good local tax consultant.

Dear Madhukar, Akshay Bapat has rightly interpreted the professional tax. In the state of Maharashtra, it applies to individuals who earn income, whether they are self-employed or employees. I would like to provide additional information that for incomes of ₹10,000 and above, the rate is ₹200 per month, and in the last month, February, it increases to ₹300 to reach the maximum slab of ₹2,500.
Senior citizens, physically handicapped employees, and parents of disabled children are exempt from this tax.
