- The constitution caps professional tax at ₹2,500 a year.
- Some states charge a higher amount in one month so that the yearly total is round, for example February in Maharashtra and Karnataka and March in Madhya Pradesh.
- Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Chhattisgarh (for salaried employees) do not collect professional tax from salary.
