Professional tax (PT) is a state-level tax deducted from individuals' salaries or income in India, aiming to generate revenue for the state government and support development and welfare activities, with rates and regulations varying across states.

  4. Select Exclude From PT check box to exclude the professional tax locations from the professional tax.
  5. Click Save to update the changes in the table. 
    Note: In case, the employee's location is unavailable, you can add the employee's location to map PT with the employee's location.
