The Maharashtra State Tax Department has announced a temporary relaxation in registration and filing of Profession Tax returns due to technical issues on the new Mahagst portal.

To reduce system load, the facility for registration and return filing has been temporarily disabled, but taxpayers can still pay Profession Tax through the portal using their PAN within the prescribed due dates.

Taxpayers who are unable to complete registration due to these issues can pay the tax using PAN and apply for registration on or before 30 April 2026, and such payment will be treated as valid.

This relaxation is only applicable for Profession Tax compliances due in March 2026.
