FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied on salaried employees, self-employed professionals, and business owners in Karnataka under the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976. It is deducted from employee salaries by the employer and remitted to the state government monthly.
Karnataka has a simple two-tier PT structure: employees earning below ₹25,000/month are exempt (NIL). Those earning ₹25,000 or above pay ₹200/month, with ₹300 in February to make the annual total ₹2,500 — which is the constitutional maximum.
Employees earning less than ₹25,000 per month are exempt. Additionally, persons with disabilities (40%+ disability), members of the armed forces, and certain categories as notified by the government are exempt from PT in Karnataka.
Employers must deposit the deducted PT by the 20th of the following month. For example, PT deducted from January salaries must be deposited by February 20th. Payment is made through the e-PRERANA portal (pt.kar.nic.in). Annual returns must be filed by May 31st.
Late PT payment attracts interest at 1.25% per month (15% per annum) on the outstanding amount from the due date. Additionally, a penalty of up to 50% of the tax amount may be imposed by the assessing authority for non-compliance or delayed filing.
