A person have 40 percent disability under Disabaility act,1995 consider as disable. and can avil professional tax exemption.read below given paragraph---
"there is no need for confusion and the issue is easily resolved as the Persons with Disbilities Act, 1995, classifies persons with 40% disability as “disabled” and an identity card is issued to the persons with disabilities by the State Special Commissioner for the Disabled. These persons are then eligible for all the benefits, including professional tax exemption".
In your case you require to obtain approval of special commissioner of disabled then you can avail exemption.
