   HI veerababu,

   I don’t think Rs.100000 will affect the TDS. If the total interest is above Rs.10000 only the TDS will be deducted. But, how ever if you get any interest income, you have to mention in the IT return filing.

   Thanks,
   Krishna

   Hi,
   By splitting the principal amount and investing in different banks, we can avoid TDS on Fixed deposit. But, is there any drawback / disadvantage by doing so.

   HI Gigi,

   If you are already paying the tax or your income is above the tax slab, there is no way to escape from the TDS. If you don’t have any other income please submit the Form 15G to avoid TDS. For more details please consult with the banker.

   Thanks,
   Krishna

    Hi Krishna,

    I had a query for you. I am a salaried employee. If I split my FDs into different accounts and ensure that my returns from each bank don’t exceed Rs, 10000, the TDS will not be deducted from the returns although the overall returns in gained from all accounts exceeds Rs. 10000. But, at the end of the year do I need to show this as income while filing the tax returns? What percentage of the returns will be deducted as income tax, if any? What if the returns from all accounts don’t exceed 10000 – do I still need to mention this returns as income?

    Dear Mr. Krishna,

    I am an NRI working in the Gulf. I plan to quit and return back to India next year.

    In view of above, I have the following queries with regard to the money in my NRE Savings Account.

    1) How long can I retain my NRE Savings Account and NRE Fixed Deposits after my return back to India ?

    2) After my return to India, can I put the money from “NRE Savings Account” to Domestic Fixed Deposits ?

    3) As I will not be having any other source of income in India, can I submit a 15G form to avoid TDS if the interest earned against the above FD’s is below the exemption limit of Rs. 1,60,000.

    Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Sherwin John

    Hello Kari,

    You have to learn what is Form 15G and the purpose of the form. Read this article to know more about the form 15g:

    It will not create any problem by submitting the form 15g. need not worry.

    I want to know if Banks are to deduct TDS on Maturity of FD or they can deduct TDS without crediting any amount to invester & pay less Interest on Maturity than the amount commited at the time of opening of FD, saying that amount paid less is because of TDS deducted.

    Dear Krishna
    I have a doubt
    Suppose you have 5 FD’s of each 45000 in 5 different banks.Each FD interest will never exceed 10000 suppose.so each individual bank will not cut andy TDS this i agree.BUT what about when filing the income tax you have to show this interest earned on FD as a part of your income at that time you will get caught and your total income will definetely exceed and you have to pay tax.Now please tell me how to avoid tax from these incometax govt.
