Top Delhi companies disappoint, pay lower tax

December, 20th 2013
The advance corporate tax payout by top 100 Delhi-based companies reflected the general slowdown in the economy, with major firms such as NTPC Ltd, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), SAIL and Power Grid Corporation of India paying much less tax in the December quarter compared with the last year. Earlier, top Mumbai companies recorded just eight per cent growth in the December quarter at Rs 21,630 crore against Rs 20,094 crore. NTPC payout was down 36 per cent at Rs 665 crore as the power generator’s profitability suffered from rising coal prices. PowerGrid Corp’s tax payment was down 43 per cent at Rs 100 crore. On the contrary, Rural Electrification Corp’s outgo was up 30 per cent at Rs 546 crore against Rs 420 crore. BHEL’s payment was down at Rs 524 crore (Rs 564 crore), while that of India Infrastructure Finance Co Ltd dipped 7 per cent to Rs 105 crore (Rs 112 crore).

The tax remittances of Punjab National Bank and Oriental Bank of Commerce were up at Rs 535 crore (Rs 450 crore) and Rs 115 crore (Rs 100 crore), respectively. Automobile companies Maruti Suzuki India Ltd and Hero MotoCorp Ltd increased their payment by 15 per cent and 60 per cent to Rs 230 crore and Rs 193 crore, respectively. Bharti Airtel Ltd nearly trebled its payment to Rs 278 crore (Rs 100 crore) and Samsung India Electronics’ was up 70 per cent at Rs 405 crore.
