❓ Gujarat FAQ

Common questions.

What is GIFT City and does it affect my tax?
GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City) is India's first International Financial Services Centre. Companies operating there get a 10-year tax holiday. Salaried employees of GIFT City companies face standard Indian income tax rules — there's no personal tax benefit for being employed there (unlike Mauritius or Singapore FTZs).
Why does Gujarat have HRA tier-2 status when Ahmedabad is a major city?
HRA tier-1 status (50% exemption) is only granted to the four "metros" — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai. All other Indian cities including Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad are technically tier-2 (40% exemption) per the Income Tax Act — although the IT department often informally treats Bangalore and Pune as metros. For Gujarat, the 40% calculation is standard.
Is Gujarat's professional tax cap really lower than other states?
Yes — Gujarat caps PT at ₹2,400/year (₹200/mo × 12) vs the national maximum allowed of ₹2,500. Most states (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra) use the full ₹2,500 cap. The ₹100 difference is trivial but real — Gujarat slightly under-collects vs the national cap.
