TDS on Interest and Form 15G/H: Avoiding Unpleasant Surprises
Interest is taxable at slab and banks deduct TDS in many cases. File the right forms only when eligible.
When Banks Deduct
- TDS applies on bank FD interest above threshold for residents. Co‑operative and post office rules can differ. Check current limits.
Form 15G and 15H
- Use these self‑declarations only if your total income is below the basic exemption limit. 15H is for senior citizens.
- Submitting when not eligible invites mismatch and interest at filing.
Hygiene
- Reconcile interest in AIS and 26AS. Plan advance tax if interest is large.
