Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether there's a minimum employee count required for Professional Tax (PT) registration in Karnataka. The consensus is that no specific employee limit exists. If even a single employee's salary exceeds the exemption threshold, the employer is obligated to register for a PT Registration Certificate (PTRC) to deduct the tax.

In Karnataka Professional tax, if salary exceeds 15000 rupees then p.tax will be 200 rupees
Dear sourav thanks for ur response I need any no. of employees limit in PT act like in pf act viz., 20 employees to get register as deductor under PT act
No, there is no limit on number of employees
There are two registrations involved here: 1) PT enrollment certificate (PTEC) for the employer 2) PT registration certificate (PTRC) in order to deduct PT from employees. Even if a single person is employed with salary exceeding the limit, PTRC is required, subject to certain exemptions.
