Doctors, lawyers, chartered accountants, architects, consultants and other self-employed professionals must obtain a PT Enrollment Certificate independently.
Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate is obtained by self-employed individuals (as opposed to the employer PT registration). Under state PT Acts, every practicing professional — doctors, lawyers, CAs, architects, engineers, consultants, traders — must enroll separately and pay Professional Tax from their own income, irrespective of whether they also have an employer who deducts PT from them.
