Top Taxpaying Foreign Bank In India

UK-based Standard Chartered Bank has pipped Citi Bank and HSBC Bank to become the

top taxpayer among foreign banks operating in India during fiscal 2009-10.

With advance tax payment of Rs 1,405 crore, up 14.2 per cent from previous fiscal, StanChart stood as the 16th highest taxpayer in India among all corporates, banking and otherwise, according to advance tax figures made available to PTI.

Standard Chartered Bank was followed by HSBC Bank, which paid an advance tax of Rs 835 crore for FY'10 and American lender Citi Bank that paid Rs 800 crore during the year.

While StanChart saw a rise of 14 per cent in its tax payment, Citi Bank and HSBC Bank saw fall of 53 per cent and 39 per cent (from Rs 1,710 crore and Rs 1,375 crore in the year-ago period), respectively, in tax payment.

Among all bankers in the country, foreign as well as local, StanChart stands behind only three big names -- State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank and ICICI Bank.

While SBI with Rs 6,552 crore advance tax payment leads the corporate segment, PNB paid Rs 2,018 crore and ICICI Bank Rs 1,502 crore as advance tax.

Among other major lenders, HDFC Bank, Bank of Baroda and Union Bank of India paid Rs 1,375 crore, Rs 1,277 crore and Rs 767 crore, respectively as advance tax.

Among the foreign bankers, Deutsche Bank comes in at the fourth slot with an advance tax payment of Rs 413 crore. This, too, saw a decline of about 13 per cent over fiscal 2008-09.

Next in line is Bank of America with Rs 298 crore, up 23 per cent compared to last year, followed by Barclay's Bank (Rs 275 cr) and DBS Bank (Rs 220 cr).
