Professional Tax in Delhi
Professional tax is a state subject, and Delhi is among the states/UTs that do not impose it. So there is no PT deduction from salaries and no PTEC/PTRC registration in Delhi.
What you still need to comply with
- GST registration and returns where applicable
- TDS on salaries and other payments
- Shop & Establishment registration for the premises
- Income-tax filing and bookkeeping
