Maharashtra Professional Tax Registration

About Our Service 

Maharashtra Professional Tax Registration is a mandatory process for employers and professionals under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings, and Employments Act, 1975. It ensures that every business and individual professional pays state-level tax as per applicable rules.

Every employer in Maharashtra must obtain PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) to deduct and deposit tax from employees’ salaries. Similarly, self-employed professionals, freelancers, or business owners need PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) to pay their own professional tax.

Ebizfiling assists you in registering for both PTRC and PTEC online through the official Maharashtra Government portal. Our experts ensure error-free application, accurate document filing, and timely approval so you can remain compliant and avoid penalties.

Professional Tax in Maharashtra is collected by the State Government and varies based on income slab or type of business. Employers must pay monthly, and individuals with PTEC registration must pay annually before 31st March each year.
