ADVANCE TAX NUMBERS = FOR FIRST QTR (1st) ENDING JUNE 2011 = GOOD RISE IN MOST CASES = BANKING, FINANCE, IT COs DID WELL

ADVANCE TAX PAYMENTS IN Q1(June 2011)

The Advance Tax numbers that are coming in through  various press / media reports for the first quarter are reasonably Good.

Banking and Finance sector especially seems to have done well. Same is the case with IT sector. The payment by 100 corporates headquartered in Mumbai have jumped 14 % for the June quarter.

While the IIP is reflecting a slower growth in Q1, the interest rates are rising constantly – and both are expected to hit growth of the listed companies (and unlisted ones) to some extent. This did not happen to any considerable extent, from current indications of advance tax numbers.

Advance tax payments are considered as the barometer for a company's performance for the reporting quarter. The jump in tax collections comes after the IIP growth in April slowed to 6.3 per cent amid a rising interest rate scenario.
