Employer and employee registration, where your state levies it.

Professional tax is a state levy, so it applies in some states and not others. Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are among those that charge it; Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh do not.
