Telangana Professional Tax Calculator (FY 2026-27)
Exact PT deduction under the Telangana Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1987 – nil up to Rs 15,000 a month, Rs 150 up to Rs 20,000 and Rs 200 above that. Verified by a practising CA.
Telangana deducts PT monthly with three simple slabs and – unlike Maharashtra and Karnataka – has no special February deduction. The maximum a salaried employee pays is therefore Rs 2,400 a year (Rs 200 x 12), within the Rs 2,500 constitutional cap.
| Monthly gross salary | PT per month |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs 15,000 | Nil |
| Rs 15,001 to Rs 20,000 | Rs 150 |
| Above Rs 20,000 | Rs 200 |
Employers in Telangana obtain a Registration Certificate, deduct PT from employees as per the slab each month and deposit it with the monthly return. Self-employed professionals and businesses – companies, firms, directors, partners, CAs, doctors, lawyers, consultants and traders – obtain an Enrolment Certificate and pay a fixed Rs 2,500 per year by 30 June. Compliance is handled online on the Telangana Commercial Taxes portal (tgct.gov.in).
PT deducted from employees in a month must be paid along with the monthly return (Form V) by the 10th of the following month. Late payment attracts interest under the Act, and the assessing authority can levy a penalty ranging from 25% to 50% of the tax due for defaults. Enrolment payments missed beyond the due date attract similar consequences.
Under the old income-tax regime, the PT deducted in the year is fully allowed as a deduction from salary under Section 16(iii); the new regime does not allow it.
