Professional Tax in West Bengal — PTRC & PTEC in Mumbai — How it works with CorporateWalla®
Two registrations, not one. PTRC lets you deduct from employees; PTEC covers the entity's own liability — and your directors and partners each need one. We file all of them on wbprofessiontax.gov.in.
Mumbai is the financial capital of India and home to the highest concentration of CA firms, ROC offices (Mumbai + Pune bench), and banks. Most registrations are filed through the Mumbai (city) or Pune bench of NCLT. Stamp duty on share capital is governed by the Maharashtra Stamp Act and is among the highest in India. The Maharashtra Ready-Reckoner (circle rate) is used for property valuation, and Mumbai property rates are the highest in the country, which directly impacts valuations on Net Worth Certificates and FDI structuring.

Step-by-step WB Professional Tax process
- 1
Work out what you actually need
A Kolkata private limited company with two directors and four employees typically needs one PTRC, one PTEC for the company, and one PTEC each for the two directors. We map this before filing anything.
- 2
Documents and slab mapping
Constitution documents, PAN, address proof and the salary register. Employees on ₹10,000 a month or less are exempt; the rest fall into the graduated slab up to ₹200 a month.
- 3
File on the state portal
Registration and enrolment filed on wbprofessiontax.gov.in against your enrolment number, registration number or government ID.
- 4
Certificates and calendar
PTRC and PTEC certificates delivered, deduction set up in payroll, and the 21-day deposit and 31 July PTEC dates put on your compliance calendar.

Why choose CorporateWalla® for WB Professional Tax in Mumbai?
PTRC and PTEC are different obligations
PTRC is the employer's registration for deducting from salaries. PTEC covers the entity's own liability — and separately that of each partner and director. Firms that register PTRC and stop there are the ones that get a demand three years later.
The cap is ₹2,500 a year, not a month
Article 276(2) of the Constitution caps professional tax at ₹2,500 per person per year in every state. Several prominent guides get this wrong, and payroll configured on the monthly reading over-deducts from every employee until someone notices.
The 21-day rule catches people out
Employer deposits are due within 21 days of the end of the month — not the last day of the following month. Late payment attracts 1% interest a month and penalty of up to 50% of the amount due.
Bonus months are recomputed
Professional tax runs on the gross for that month, so a bonus or arrears month can lift an employee into a higher slab for that month alone. Payroll systems with a hard-coded monthly figure get this wrong at every appraisal cycle.
Regularising beats being found out
A voluntary correction is treated very differently from a default discovered on inspection — and very differently again from one discovered by an acquirer's diligence team.

Q: What is the difference between PTRC and PTEC?

Q: What is the maximum professional tax in West Bengal?
A: ₹2,500 per person per financial year. For salaried employees the practical maximum is ₹200 a month, so ₹2,400 a year. Employees earning up to ₹10,000 a month are exempt.
