The Professional Tax Registration Certificate (PTRC) is the mandatory registration for every employer in Maharashtra who pays salary, wages, or remuneration to employees. Governed by the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975, the PTRC authorises the employer to deduct Professional Tax from employee salaries and deposit it with the state government. Registration must be obtained within 30 days of employing the first employee, and a separate PTRC is required for each location from which employees are deployed.
The PT deduction depends on the employee's monthly gross salary. For salaries between Rs 7,501 and Rs 10,000, PT is Rs 175 per month (Rs 300 in February). For salaries above Rs 10,000, PT is Rs 200 per month (Rs 300 in February), making the annual maximum Rs 2,500 per employee. The employer is responsible for deducting the correct amount each month, depositing it by the due date, and filing monthly or annual PTRC returns depending on the total annual PT liability.
