Telangana professional tax due dates for 2026-27: the 10th of every month
Why it exists
Professional tax is a state tax on people engaged in a profession, trade, calling or employment. Employers deduct it from salaries and pay it to the state each month; businesses, partners and directors can also owe it in their own right, at the rate in the Act's schedule.

Common mistakes
- Old forum answers. Some threads give other dates; the Commercial Taxes Department help page says the 10th of the following month.
- Confusing your own PT with employees'. The monthly Form V covers salaries paid; a business's own PT is separate.
- Weekends. Dates don't move by themselves; pay before a weekend or holiday.
- Several places of work. Tax is paid at the principal place of work you name.
Monthly checklist
- Salary register for the month final
- PT deducted per the schedule
- Form V filed and tax paid by the 10th
- Challan or e-payment receipt saved
Also for Telangana: quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd; see GSTR-3B quarterly due dates.
