The state tax department has officially released the Professional Tax (PT) inspection schedule for large companies for the current financial year. The schedule outlines the timeline and targeted sectors for compliance inspections across multiple districts. Companies with over 100 employees and high turnover have been prioritized, based on risk assessment indicators and past filing records.

According to the department’s notification, inspections will focus on verification of registration status, monthly PT deductions, return filings, and employee classification accuracy. Tax officers will conduct both on-site and system-based audits, and companies are required to keep all relevant payroll, bank challans, and statutory documents ready for review. The inspections will begin next month and continue in phased intervals throughout the year.

Officials emphasized that non-compliant firms may face penalties, interest, and retrospective assessments, as per the Professional Tax Act. Affected companies have been advised to check their names on the published schedule available on the official PT portal and prepare accordingly. This initiative is part of the department’s ongoing strategy to enhance enforcement transparency and ensure consistent tax contribution by large-scale employers.
