Mumbai: India's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), said on Sunday that it has paid Rs. 1,120 crore in advance tax for the second quarter as against Rs. 1,820 crore in the corresponding period last year, down nearly 40 per cent.Its foreign offices paid an additional Rs. 192 crore in tax during the period, the lender said in a statement.
Last Friday, a senior official from the income tax department had said that the department is witnessing a "muted growth" in collections from the Mumbai region, which accounts for over a third of the total collections nationally.
The advance tax pay-out decline from SBI comes amid a period of gloom on the economic front, with the quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) growth falling to a four-year low of 4.4 per cent for the April-June period.
Advance tax is a system of staggered payment of income tax over four quarters, and is generally considered as a barometer of a company's performance during a quarter.
