PTRC – Professional Tax Registration Certificate

A Professional Tax Registration Certificate (PTRC) is required for employers who are responsible for deducting Professional Tax from the salaries of their employees and depositing it with the State Professional Tax Department. Professional tax is a state-level tax levied on income earned through employment, profession, trade, or business in certain states of India.

Employers must obtain PTRC registration to legally deduct professional tax from employee salaries and comply with the provisions of the State Professional Tax Act. At N D Savla & Associates, we assist businesses and employers with PTRC registration, return filing, and professional tax compliance.

What is PTRC?

PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) is a registration issued by the state tax authority to employers. It authorizes the employer to deduct professional tax from employees’ salaries and deposit the collected tax with the government.

Once registered under PTRC, the employer becomes responsible for:

• Deducting professional tax from employee salaries

• Depositing the tax with the government

• Filing periodic professional tax returns

Who Needs PTRC Registration?

PTRC registration is required for:

• Companies and LLPs with employees

• Partnership firms and proprietorship businesses employing staff

• Organizations and institutions paying salaries to employees

• Any employer required to deduct professional tax under the state law

If a business employs staff in a state where professional tax is applicable, PTRC registration becomes mandatory.

Professional Tax Deduction from Employees

Under PTRC, employers must deduct professional tax from employee salaries based on the slab rates prescribed by the state government. The tax amount varies depending on the employee’s monthly salary.

The deducted tax must be deposited with the Professional Tax Department within the prescribed time.
