09 July 2024 If a partner of a partnership firm in Maharashtra attains 65 years of age, they are exempt from paying Profession Tax as per the provisions of the Maharashtra State Profession Tax Act. Here’s a clarification based on your query:

1. **Exemption for Individuals Attaining 65 Years of Age:**
- Individuals who attain 65 years of age are exempt from paying Profession Tax in Maharashtra.

2. **Liability of Partners of Partnership Firms:**
- Partners of partnership firms are generally liable to pay Profession Tax unless exempted under specific provisions, such as reaching 65 years of age.

Therefore, if a partner in a partnership firm in Maharashtra attains the age of 65 years, they are exempt from paying Profession Tax. This exemption is based on the age criteria and applies irrespective of their status as a partner in a partnership firm. The exemption is not limited to individuals who are not partners; it extends to all individuals meeting the age requirement.

To summarize:

- **Liability for PTEC Enrollment:** Partners below 65 years are liable for enrollment and payment of Profession Tax unless specifically exempted under other provisions of the Act.
