How Is Fixed Deposit Interest Taxed in India? 💰📈 by Return Filings Via Flickr:
Did you know that interest earned on your fixed deposits is taxable under “Income from Other Sources”? It’s added to your total income and taxed according to your income slab.
Here are the essentials to keep in mind:
TDS on FD Interest: Banks deduct 10% TDS if your interest income crosses ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens). No PAN? The rate jumps to 20%!
Calculating Tax: Add all FD interest earned in a year to your taxable income and apply your slab rate.
Avoid Excess TDS: If your income is below the taxable limit, submit Form 15G/15H to your bank to prevent unnecessary TDS deduction.
Reporting in ITR: Always report total FD interest in your Income Tax Return—even if TDS is deducted—to avoid future hassles.
Stay tax savvy and make your investments work smarter! ✨
