In 2003 he was made a Knight of the National Order of Merit, France’s highest civilian honour, for his outstanding contributions in the field of international banking. 

Das Gupta is a past member of the Board of Trustees of the Minority Welfare Trust, appointed by the Government of Bangladesh, a member of the National Executive Committee of the ENT and Head Cancer Hospital and Institute of Dhaka and a founder member of two high schools at Anwara, Chittagong.
