  We report the magnetic, electrical, and magnetotransport (Hall effect)
properties of the hexagonal itinerant ferromagnet Cr$_{0.83}$Te. Further, a
comprehensive study of the magneto-entropy scaling behavior has been done
around the Curie temperature of $T_C \approx$ 338 K. A maximum entropy change
(-$\Delta S_{m}^{max}$) of 2.77 $J/kg-K$ and relative cooling power (RCP) of
88.29 $J/kg$ near the T$_C$ have been achieved under an applied magnetic field
of 5 Tesla. The critical exponents, $\beta$ = 0.4739(4), $\gamma$ = 1.2812(3),
and $\delta$ = 3.7037(5), have been extracted using the magneto-entropy scaling
analysis. The obtained critical exponents indicate the presence of intricate
magnetic interactions in Cr$_{0.83}$Te. On the other hand, the magnetotransport
study reveals a topological Hall effect attributed to the noncoplanar spin
structure coexisting with a robust magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Further, we
observe that the extrinsic skew-scattering mechanism originated anomalous Hall
effect. Our experimental findings of the anomalous and topological Hall effect
properties in the presence of intriguing high-temperature itinerant
ferromagnetism and magnetocaloric effect in Cr$_{0.83}$Te can offer potential
technological applications at room temperature.
