‘State Bank of India has paid advance tax of Rs 1,456 crore for the Q4 of the financial year 2013-14 (corresponding figure for the financial year 2012-13 was Rs 1450 crore) in respect of domestic operations,’ it said in a statement.
Advance tax payouts is a system of staggered I-T dues payments over four quarters. It is generally considered as a barometer of a company's performance in the period. Expectations on the banking sector’s performance are muted because of the economic slowdown and the consequent impact on both the asset quality and credit growth.
Meanwhile, new-age private sector lender Yes Bank reported a 20 per cent jump in its advance tax payout at Rs 200 crore for the March quarter, as against Rs 167 crore in the same period last year.
