Penalty on professional tax

It falls under particular State Sales Tax/VAT department, which differs marginally for each state. Better to consult state VAT department PRO or helpline for exact information or rules of the same.

Online information  is also available over the State VAT site. which state you refer to? Maharashtra?

May refer the link:  1. https://www.mahavat.gov.in/Mahavat/GetDataAction?option=Profession%20Tax%20Act#

Even though it shows page expired, but some old information is available on surfing.

Finally, as per my study, I found that it is at discretion of the officer to charge any interest and/or penalty, or give any relief!
