WHEREAS, the Senior Technical Director, NIC, vide e-mail dated: 30.04.2026, reported

that the taxpayers are facing some issues in making payments and they are analysing the issue,

which could be application / network / infrastructure of integration issues. Further the Department

has also received representations from FKCCI and other various trade bodies and telephonic calls

from stake holders informing that the payment of Professional Tax is being delayed due to technical

glitches in the Professional Tax portal and hence it has become difficult for the enrolled persons to

make the payment of tax within the time limit specified above and there is a requirement to remove

this difficulty by extending the time limit for making such payment.

WHEREAS, Section 34 of the said Act provides that in case of any difficulty arises in

giving effect to the provisions of the Act, the Government may by notification make such

provisions, not inconsistent with this Act, as appears to it to be necessary or expedient for removing

the difficulty.
