Regarding Professional Tax Refund

Dear Sir,

My employer is deducting Rs. 2500/- as a Professional Tax but my annual income is below exemption limit. so can I get refund Rs. 2500/- after filing ITR Nil return?

Thanks & Regards,
Priyanka Mhatre

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an employee can claim a refund for professional tax deducted by their employer, particularly if their annual income falls below the exemption limit. While generally refunds are not possible, it's noted that some states, like Maharashtra, have specific rules. In Maharashtra, female employees earning over a certain threshold pay professional tax but not income tax, and a refund isn't applicable in such cases. The consensus is that professional tax refunds are rare and depend heavily on specific state regulations.

No. There is no refund possible for professional tax of employees.
In Which state you are working ?

Only in few states PT refund can be claimed
Maharashtra state

Female employees earning more than 10000 per month will pay 2500 p.a as profession tax

 

So you will pay professional tax but not income tax.

 

No question of refund of profession tax.

Ok, noted. thank you
Few north eastern states have provision of PT refund subject to conditions. You may google it
