PTEC and PTRC are the two professional tax registrations in Maharashtra under the state's law on taxes on professions, trades, callings and employments. A Professional Tax Enrolment Certificate (PTEC) covers the tax that a business, firm, director or self-employed professional pays for themselves. A Professional Tax Registration Certificate (PTRC) is needed by employers to deduct professional tax from employees' salaries and deposit it with the state.
Most businesses in Maharashtra with employees need both. Vibence makes registration straightforward. A dedicated qualified professional from the Vibence partner network confirms which certificates you need, prepares the application on the Maharashtra tax department portal and keeps you informed by phone, chat and email. Higher plans add registration for both certificates and professional tax computation, so you know what to pay.

PTEC and PTRC Registration (Maharashtra): FAQs
What is the difference between PTEC and PTRC?
PTEC, the Professional Tax Enrolment Certificate, covers the professional tax that a business, firm, director or self-employed professional pays on their own account in Maharashtra. PTRC, the Professional Tax Registration Certificate, is for employers who must deduct professional tax from employees' salaries and deposit it with the state. Many businesses with staff need both certificates.
Who needs PTEC and PTRC registration in Maharashtra?
Companies, LLPs, partnership firms, proprietors and self-employed professionals carrying on business or a profession in Maharashtra generally need PTEC. Any employer with employees in Maharashtra whose salaries fall within the taxable slabs needs PTRC to deduct and deposit professional tax. Our partner professionals confirm which certificates apply to you before filing.
How much does PTEC and PTRC registration cost with Vibence?
Vibence offers four plans. Basic at ₹1,499 covers PTEC or PTRC registration assistance. Standard at ₹3,999 covers registration for both PTEC and PTRC. Smart at ₹5,899 adds professional tax computation, and Mega at ₹9,999 is our most comprehensive plan. All plans include a dedicated professional with phone, chat and email support, and exclude government fees and tax payable.
What is the maximum professional tax payable in Maharashtra?
Under the Constitution, professional tax cannot exceed ₹2,500 per person in a year. Within that limit, Maharashtra sets slabs based on factors such as salary for employees and the type of business for enrolled persons. The applicable amount depends on the current state rules, and our Smart and Mega plans include computation of the professional tax you need to pay.
What happens after PTEC and PTRC registration?
After registration, PTEC holders typically pay their own professional tax annually, while PTRC holders deduct tax from eligible employees' salaries and pay it to the state, along with filing returns on the schedule set by Maharashtra. Late payment or filing can attract interest and penalties under state law. Your dedicated professional will explain the obligations that apply to you.
