Serving Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu businesses register and pay Professional Tax to the Greater Chennai Corporation (or the relevant local body outside the city) on a half-yearly cycle, distinct from Karnataka's and Telangana's monthly cadence — a detail that trips up companies expanding into the state from Bangalore or Hyderabad. Chennai's large NRI and Gulf-returnee population also means FEMA advisory, repatriation, and capital-gains-on-property-sale work forms a bigger share of our Chennai practice than in our other offices.
What we handle for Tamil Nadu businesses
The industries our Chennai office is built for
The service list above isn't generic — it reflects what businesses in Chennai's economy actually come to us for.
Automotive & Auto-Ancillary
The Chennai–Sriperumbudur–Oragadam corridor is one of India's largest automotive manufacturing clusters. Units here rely on us for factory licensing, contract labour compliance, statutory and internal audit, and payroll across large shop-floor workforces.
Engineering & Manufacturing
Beyond automotive, Chennai's broader engineering and manufacturing base brings Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board consent, multi-state GST compliance, and statutory audit work into our practice.
Textiles
Tamil Nadu's textile trade — spanning Chennai's trading houses and the wider Tiruppur–Coimbatore mills — brings GST reconciliation, export documentation, and working-capital advisory to this office.
BFSI Back Office
Chennai's concentration of banking and financial-services back-office operations keeps statutory audit, internal audit, and regulatory compliance support for BFSI-linked entities a steady line of work.
Port-Linked EXIM Trade
With Chennai Port and Ennore Port nearby, we register Import Export Codes and advise on customs and trade-compliance documentation for import-export businesses based in and around the city.
What Tamil Nadu businesses file, and when
The state-specific obligations that sit alongside GST and income tax for a business registered in Tamil Nadu — not a rupee-slab table, since those are notified per state and change.
| Obligation | Authority | Frequency | Due |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Tax | Greater Chennai Corporation (or the relevant local body outside the city) | Half-yearly — April to September, and October to March | 31 October, and 30 April |
| Shops & Establishments registration | Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act | One-time registration, then renewed per the Act's cycle | Before commencing operations |
| Trade Licence | Greater Chennai Corporation | Annual renewal | Per the Corporation's renewal calendar |
Professional Tax is capped at Rs 2,500 per person per year under Article 276 of the Constitution; the state notifies its own slabs within that cap. Ask our Chennai team for the slab that applies to your headcount.

Chennai clients ask us most
Is PNPC Global's Chennai office the firm's head office?
Yes. Our Chennai office has been the firm's head office since 1986, when the practice was founded here, and it remains our largest team by headcount. It works alongside our Hyderabad and Bangalore offices in India and our Dubai office in the UAE as one practice.
How often is Professional Tax due in Tamil Nadu, and is that different from Karnataka or Telangana?
Tamil Nadu runs Professional Tax on a half-yearly cycle: April–September is due by 31 October, and October–March by 30 April. That is different from Karnataka and Telangana, which both collect it monthly. If you are opening a Chennai branch from a Bangalore or Hyderabad base, this is one of the first compliance differences to plan for.
We run a manufacturing unit in the Chennai–Sriperumbudur corridor. What licences do we need beyond GST and company registration?
Manufacturing units in and around Chennai typically need a Factory Licence, a Contract Labour Licence if you engage contract workers, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board Consent to Establish and Operate, and Shops & Establishments registration for any office premises — alongside the statutory audit and payroll work we already do for auto-ancillary and engineering clients in the corridor.
Do you handle NRI tax filing and property matters from the Chennai office?
Yes. Chennai's NRI and Gulf-returnee client base means FEMA advisory, repatriation, and capital-gains-on-property-sale work is a significant part of this office's practice, alongside standard NRI income tax return filing.
Do you support import-export businesses operating through Chennai Port?
Yes — our Chennai office registers Import Export Codes (IEC) and advises on import-export trade compliance, relevant to the port-linked EXIM trade that is a meaningful part of Chennai's economy.
Which tribunal, court, and company registry cover a Chennai-registered business?
A Tamil Nadu company is registered with the Registrar of Companies, Chennai. Income-tax appeals go to the Chennai bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, company-law matters to the Chennai bench of the NCLT, and writ or appellate matters to the Madras High Court.
