A sample layout of what a PTEC/PTRC acknowledgement contains, the details that matter blurred out here.
Your business figures and PAN are blurred here, this is a sample. Your actual registration shows every field clearly to you.
What matters before you pay: the correct category, the right state portal, a verifiable acknowledgement number.
Ask a CA FirstA state-level tax under Article 276 of the Constitution, capped at ₹2,500 a year per person. Registering under the wrong category, PTEC instead of PTRC or the reverse, is the most common mistake we see.
For professionals, proprietors, partners and directors who pay professional tax on their own income. One-time registration, then an annual payment.
For any business with even one salaried employee in a PT state. Requires deducting PT from salary every month and filing periodic returns.
Pune runs on two very different engines — a large IT and services workforce concentrated around Hinjewadi and Kharadi, and one of India's oldest automobile manufacturing clusters, anchored by companies like Tata Motors and Bajaj Auto. IT and services firms in Pune are almost always PTRC cases — they employ salaried staff and must deduct and deposit professional tax every month. Manufacturing and ancillary units often have a mix of salaried staff and independently practising consultants, which means checking PTEC liability alongside PTRC rather than assuming one covers the other. Pune-based companies frequently expand into a second Maharashtra city or another state within a year or two of setup, and professional tax rules apply per registration, not per company. We register the correct category for your Pune entity and flag multi-state triggers before they become a compliance gap.

"We had employees in three states and three different due dates. SVT set up PTRC everywhere and gave us one filing calendar."
"Registered as a consultant, didn't realise I needed PTEC myself, not just PTRC for my two employees. Caught before it became a penalty."
"Missed our registration window by four months. SVT handled the late registration and got the penalty down to the minimum."
