The constitutional provision that lets states levy professional tax and caps it at ₹2,500 per person a year, which is why every state's slabs top out there.

  • Professional tax is a state levy, so rules differ by state.
  • No person can be charged more than ₹2,500 a year in total.
  • A state may choose not to levy it at all.
