KJS Ahluwalia, a mine owner in Orissa, is the country's top taxpayer in the individual category for 2010-11. Two other mine owners from the state, Prasanta Ahluwalia and Indrani Pattnaik, also figure in the top 10 taxpayers' list.

Income tax officials in Rourkela said Ahluwalia, owner of an iron ore mine and a mini steel plant in Keonjhar, paid Rs 50 crore as advance tax in the last quarter. He paid a total tax of Rs 95 crore, making him the highest taxpayer ahead of some of the richest men in the country, including Mukesh Ambani and Azim Premji.

Ahluwalia's younger brother, Prasanta Ahluwalia, ranked sixth in the list of top taxpayers. He paid an advance tax of Rs 22 crore, taking his total tax in the last fiscal to Rs 44 crore. Prasanta owns one iron ore mine in Keonjhar district with a Rs 350 crore turnover.

Indrani Pattnaik, sister-in-law of Congress leader Niranjan Pattnaik, ranked fourth in the top tax payers' list. She paid Rs 64 crore advance tax. In 2009-10, Indrani had paid Rs 75 crore tax and was the third highest tax payer.

The state vigilance department had filed a chargesheet against Indrani allegedly for illegal mining. Following this, the state government had stopped her mining activities in November 2010. Indrani paid income tax on the business before Nov 2010, an I-T source said. "We are proud to have three mine owners from the state as top taxpayers," said assistant commissioner of IT (Rourkela Circle) Sandip Lakra.
