Q4 advance tax numbers: Not an inspiring affair

15 Mar 2012 Evaluate

The Q4 advance tax numbers has not been on the expected lines and the major companies who till now have reported their numbers are showing grim picture of the state of affairs of the India Inc in Q4 FY12. Though, the banking pack has shown rise in their advance tax payments for the final quarter but here too, the rise was pretty modest. Apart from the Indian lenders the foreign banks too have shown rise in their advance tax numbers. The cement pack once again showed mixed numbers with some of the companies showing rise in advance tax payments while others lagging behind. Auto companies too showed rise in payments as has been evident by their sales number of the past couple of months. The oil company's performance once again remained dismal and they paid mere Rs 200 crore compared to huge Rs 4,900 paid in the similar quarter last year.
