02 July 2011 Withholding tax is 10% of the gross amount of the interest on loans made or guaranteed by a bank or other financial institution carrying on bona fide banking or financing business or by an enterprise which holds directly or indirectly at least 10 per cent of the capital of the company paying the interest.

To explain you mathematically.

Foreign Bank BC with Withholding tax

= (L + 1.00) + ((l+ 1.00)*10%)
= (0.25 + 1)+ ((0.25+1)*10%)
= 1.25 + 0.125
= 1.375%

Indian Bank overseas branches

= L + 150
= 0.25 + 1.50
= 1.75

Assumption

- 90 days Transaction USD Libor =0.25

03 July 2011 Here the rate of TDS shall also depend on whether the foreign Bank has a PE in India and whether it has obtained PAN in India.

The rate i quoted previously was as per Income Tax Act. Benefit of specific DTAA of country in which foreign bank is located can also be availed.
