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.
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.
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.
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.
