Taxable Interest on FD
The tax on interest from any Fixed Deposit is paid partly via TDS deducted by the bank and the rest by the individual. Under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the case of interest earned from investments in fixed deposits covered by NBFCs, exceeds Rs. 5,000, interest income is taxable.
At a PAN Card level for the investors, the interest income will be given after consolidating all his Fixed Deposits. In case the depositor provides 15G/15H during the application stage, he will be excused from paying tax on his interest income. If the bank doesn’t have the PAN in its records, TDS is deducted at 20 percent on interest income.
