by Menas Ros Savings account

As an investment instrument mainly offered by banks and NBFCs (non-banking financial companies), Fixed Deposit is also a great way to grow your savings with utmost safety. It is always one of the most preferred avenues that mainly enables you to deposit a lump sum amount with your financier, and choose a tenure as per your convenience. So, on completion of the pre-decided tenure, your deposit also starts earning an interest, throughout the chosen duration, as per the interest rate at which you locked in your deposit.

Once your investment amount has always been locked in at a specific interest rate, it mainly remains unaffected by further changes in interest rates or market fluctuations. Thus, you can also get guaranteed returns on your deposit, and you can always choose to get your interest on a periodic basis, or at maturity. Usually, the defining criteria for FD is always that the money cannot be withdrawn before maturity, but you may also withdraw them after paying a penalty.

 Taxability on Fixed Deposit

The interest earned from Fixed Deposit rates are taxable. The tax mainly deducted at source on FD can range from 0% to 30%, also depending on income tax bracket of the investor. Financiers deduct 7.5% TDS if interest earned is more than Rs. 10,000 in a year, only if your also PAN details are always available with them. However, in case your PAN details are not provided to your financial institution, 20% TDS will be deducted.

If your total income is below the minimum tax slab of 10%, you can claim a refund of the deducted TDS. You can always avoid the deduction by submitting Form 15G to your financial institution, and even submitting Form 15H if you’re also a senior citizen. So, if you fall in the higher tax bracket (20% or 30%), you would always have to pay extra tax over and above the TDS deducted by your NBFC or bank.
