What is worth knowing about Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu
The weakest no-levy call in this dataset. India Code returned 403 to automated fetches, so the absence of an operative schedule rests on payroll practice rather than on a primary source we read. Re-verify before any UT-specific page ships.
We could not read an official source confirming this, so the zero rests on agreeing secondary sources and on payroll practice. Check your payslip.
The weakest no-levy call in this dataset: India Code refused automated fetches, so the absence of an operative schedule rests on payroll practice rather than on a primary source we read. We publish it anyway, marked, because a documented best reading beats a blank — but check your payslip before you rely on it.
Secondary sources only, and either they conflict with the bare Act or no official schedule could be located. Encoded because a documented best reading beats a blank, but flagged here and on the methodology page.
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: A President's-Act-era Union Territory Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employment Act, 1976 is listed on India Code, but no rate schedule is in force and the administration operates no professional-tax regime.

Your actual take-home
Professional tax is a line on most Indian payslips, and in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu 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 Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, 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 Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu figures — it computes each one and says which pays less tax on the numbers you enter, and nothing beyond that.
