Professional Tax Deduction with multiple employers

Professional Tax of Rs.5440/- was deducted by 3 employers during the financial year While filing ITR, system is mentioning that "Maximum deduction of Professional tax u/s 16(iii) can be claimed of Rs. 5,000.". I am unable to fully claim the deducted amount. Can't we claim the fully deducted professional tax by the employers while filing ITR.

Quick Summary
If you've had professional tax deducted by multiple employers in a financial year, you might encounter an issue when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). The system may limit your deduction to Rs 5,000, even if more was paid. This discussion explores whether it's possible to claim the full deducted amount and clarifies the rules around professional tax deduction limits.

No. Maximum PT payable cannot be more than 5K.

PT deduction allowed on payment basis. There is no such limit. Last year, we took 7000 deduction for 2 assessees which processed as it is
