What is worth knowing about Chandigarh
No professional tax levied.
No primary source was reachable, but two or more independent secondary sources agree exactly. Also covers a negative claim ('no statute was ever enacted') that no single document can prove.
The cap every state is under
Article 276(2), Constitution of India limits professional tax to ₹2,500 a person a year, whatever a state’s own schedule says. Several states are written to land exactly on it — that is why Karnataka and Maharashtra charge a different amount in one month of the year, and why an annual total on this page never exceeds ₹2,500.
Where this comes from
Statute: No professions-tax statute has been enacted for the union territory.

Your actual take-home
Professional tax is a line on most Indian payslips, and in Chandigarh it is not one of them. What decides your take-home here is everything else: income tax, EPF, gratuity. Our CTC to in-hand calculator, opened on Chandigarh, deducts nothing here — which is the whole finding of this page — computes the rest under the Income-tax Act 2025, and shows the working for every line. Put your own CTC in it and read the figure rather than the rate.
Which leaves income tax as the line that decides it — and the thing that moves income tax most is the regime you are taxed under. That choice is yours to make rather than your state’s, so compare both regimes on Chandigarh figures — it computes each one and says which pays less tax on the numbers you enter, and nothing beyond that.
