The Manipur slab table
| Monthly wage | Tax per month | Over a full year |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹4,250 | Nil | Nil |
| ₹4,251 – ₹6,250 | ₹100 | ₹1,200 |
| ₹6,251 – ₹8,333 | ₹167 | ₹2,004 |
| ₹8,334 – ₹10,416 | ₹200 | ₹2,400 |
| ₹10,417 and above | ₹208 except ₹212 in March | ₹2,500 |
- ₹4,251 – ₹6,250 — ₹100 × 12 months = ₹1,200 a year.
- ₹6,251 – ₹8,333 — ₹167 × 12 months = ₹2,004 a year.
- ₹8,334 – ₹10,416 — ₹200 × 12 months = ₹2,400 a year.
- ₹10,417 and above — ₹208 × 11 months + ₹212 in March = ₹2,500 a year.
When it is collected
Banded on the monthly wage; the amount is deducted every month.
What is worth knowing about Manipur
Rs 208 for eleven months and Rs 212 in the twelfth month of the financial year (March), which is how the top band reaches exactly Rs 2,500. No official Manipur schedule was reachable and sources disagree on whether the Act is of 1979 or 1981, so this is a low-confidence encoding.
No official schedule for this state was reachable, so this figure comes from agreeing secondary sources. Check your payslip.
No official Manipur schedule was reachable, and sources disagree even on whether the governing Act is of 1979 or 1981. 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: Manipur (State Tax on) Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1981; Eighth Amendment schedule w.e.f. 1 September 2012

Your actual take-home
Professional tax is one line on a payslip, and rarely the line that decides anything. The one that does is what reaches your account after income tax, EPF and this deduction have all been taken. Our CTC to in-hand calculator, opened on Manipur, carries the schedule above through automatically, alongside income tax under the Income-tax Act 2025, EPF and gratuity, and shows the working for every line. Put your own CTC in it and read the figure rather than the rate.
One thing worth knowing before you do: professional tax is deductible from salary under s.19 of the Income-tax Act 2025 only under the old regime. Under the new regime it leaves your pay and buys nothing back. Whether that is worth anything depends on the rest of your deductions, so compare both regimes on Manipur figures — it computes each one and says which pays less tax on the numbers you enter, and nothing beyond that.
