Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan earned Rs 350 crore during the 2024-25 financial year, of which he paid Rs 120 crore as income tax, reports have revealed. This makes Big B the highest tax-paying celebrity in India.
According to a source who spoke to Pinkvilla, the 82-year-old superstar paid his last instalment, an advance tax of Rs. 52.50 crore, on March 15. A source who spoke to the outlet shared that Bachchan’s hosting duty at Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 16 is one of his income streams, apart from endorsement deals and film projects.
“From doing some of the biggest feature films of Indian Cinema to being the top pick for most of the brands – Amitabh Bachchan is an actor in demand even at the age of 82. He is also the most loved host on television with Kaun Banega Crorepati. The income from all these sources amounts to ₹350 crore, which is among the highest in the capacity of an individual in the film fraternity,” said a source to Pinkvilla.
“He is a role model for all the Indians even today and often makes it a point to pay all taxes on time. Amitabh Bachchan is committed to sign on for exciting projects in 2025, and leave a mark among all his fans,” the report added.
Bachchan’s Rs 120 crore tax liability for this financial year is 69 per cent higher than the previous financial year (Rs. 71 crore). Apart from Amitabh, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Tamil superstar Vijay are amongst the highest tax-paying Indian celebrities. Last year, Shah Rukh topped the list with Rs 92 crores.
