To cancel professional tax registration in Karnataka, you must log in to the e‑Prerana portal (pt.kar.nic.in), submit a cancellation (certificate surrender) request under “Enrolment Application,” provide your EC/PTRC number and reason, ensure no dues remain, and pay a small fee online or offline. Once processed, your registration will be officially cancelled.

23 November 2025 THE ONLINE PROCESS FOR CANCELLATION OF PROFESSIONAL TAX REGISTRATION IN KARNATAKA:

Step-by-Step: Online PT Cancellation via e‑Prerana Log in to the e‑Prerana portal at pt.kar.nic.in using your PAN/GSTIN and password.

1) Go to “Enrolment Application”, and select the option for cancellation (certificate surrender) (similar to amendment workflow).

2) Fill in all details, including EC/PTRC number, reason for cancellation, and confirm no dues exist.

3) Choose e‑Payment or offline mode:

a) If e‑Payment: pay a small fee online, then the portal generates a PTN/PRN.

b) If offline payment: generate PRN online, make payment at the PT office with challan, and upload the payment acknowledgment.

4) Attach required documents, such as:

a) Cancellation request form

b) Original PT Certificate

c) Payment challan or proof

d) Declaration of closure or non-employment

e) (Optional) Letter of authorization, if filing via representative

5) Submit the application online and download the acknowledgement.

6) PT office processes it—cancellation is typically completed in 15–30 days unless additional info is required.

7) Please note that as of February 2025, Karnataka requires all PT processes—including cancellations—to be handled fully online via e‑Prerana.

8) Keep an eye on your portal account and/or email for status updates.

9) If there are unpaid dues or pending returns, you’ll need to clear them before cancellation.

10) In-Person Only? Some state-level sources (e.g., CA club) mentioned manual submission for other states—but in Karnataka, online cancellation is the standard as per the latest govt. order.

11) Still, if your situation is complex, it may help to print the acknowledgement and hand over supporting documents to your local PT office.

12) Yes, PT cancellation in Karnataka is now fully online via the e‑Prerana portal.

13) Just log in, choose cancellation, upload documents, pay any fee, and track the same via the portal.
