Professional Tax Registration in Pune: Complete 2026 Guide to PTEC, PTRC, Maharashtra Slab Rates & Monthly Filing

The Complete Guide to Professional Tax Registration in Pune (2026)

Under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act 1975, Professional Tax (PT) is a mandatory state-level direct tax levied on individuals and commercial organizations earning income through salaries, professions, or commercial trades. Any enterprise operating within Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC), or surrounding industrial corridors must obtain two distinct statutory registrations:

• PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate): Levied on the business entity itself, proprietary owners, partners, and corporate directors. Fixed statutory liability of ₹2,500 annually.
• PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate): Mandatory for every employer who employs salaried staff earning above statutory wage thresholds. The employer deducts tax from staff payroll and deposits it monthly with the Maharashtra Government.
