ℹ Professional tax deduction(s) for every region happens as per the state government rules. These rules differ from one region to another. These regions are maintained in the system as region codes. Region codes previously maintained for India in SAP system were not defined by the government as there were no such guidelines. However, government has now introduced region codes for each of these regions based on their geographical location.

However, existing region codes cannot be modified with the new region codes as professional tax calculations will then become inconsistent. New region codes needs to be maintained so that all India specific functionalities as well as other functionalities work consistently.
