The state tax department has issued an advisory urging all business entities to adopt the official Professional Tax (PT) filing calendar for streamlined compliance and timely submissions. The filing calendar, available on the state’s tax portal, provides a clear month-wise schedule of return due dates, payment deadlines, and certificate renewal timelines, tailored for different types of taxpayers.

According to department officials, the calendar is designed to help employers, accountants, and consultants avoid missed deadlines, penalties, and interest accruals. It includes alerts for annual enrolment dues, monthly deduction filings for employers, and reminders for businesses with multi-state or multi-branch operations. The tool is accessible through the taxpayer dashboard and can be integrated with internal compliance management systems.

Businesses are encouraged to download and circulate the PT calendar among their finance and HR teams, ensuring consistency in tracking obligations throughout the financial year. The department will also issue SMS and email notifications aligned with the calendar dates, enhancing awareness and easing compliance burdens. This initiative is part of the government’s broader efforts to simplify tax administration and promote a proactive filing culture among professional tax assessors.
