20 August 2011 Mr. U S Sharma is right.

When the Mumbai branch of ICICI is ready to take TDS certificate, you can issue the same to them without any doubt.

There will not be any problem for you since, the answer is in main question itself i.e., Bahmas has DTAA.

If you want any supporting document for issuance of TDS certificate to ICICI Mumbai branch, then ask them for a letter regarding the same.

21 August 2011 A branch doessn't have an separate entity different from its Head Office.

From taxation view point the whole profit of any bank(that includes consolidation of all Branches accounts in the Head Office )is chargeable to tax.

So in present case the PAN of ICICI Bank shall serve the purpose and TDS Certificate shall be issued in favor of ICICI Bank only.

Also India doesn't have ant DTAA with Bahamas.
