As result of new proposal in the Union Budget 2015-16, Banks and Post Offices will have to deduct the 10% of the interest on Recurring Deposits (RD) as TDS from 1st June 2015 onwards. The TDS will be applicable only if the interest earned on RD accounts exceeds Rs. 10000/- a year.
Interest earned on
deposits in cooperative banks has also been brought under TDS. Earlier there was no TDS for Recurring
Deposits in all institutions, only interest on fixed deposits was taken for TDS
calculation.
Investors with no taxable
income will have to submit Form 15G to avoid TDS on both recurring deposits and
fixed deposits. For senior citizens, the requisite form for avoiding TDS is
15H.
The rules for
applicability of TDS on interest income from bank deposits have also been
changed. Earlier, TDS was applicable if the interest earned on deposits in a
particular branch of a bank was more than Rs. 10,000 in a year. Now, the branch
restriction has been removed. The total interest on multiple deposits at
different branches of the bank would now be considered together for the purpose
of calculating TDS.
This new rule will make
impact on investors who makes deposits in different branches of a particular
bank in order to escape from the TDS.
These new proposal will
make impact on the business of the banks and Post Offices who deals with large
number of RD accounts. Because if the
TDS is collected from a depositor, he will have include this interest income as
part taxable income in his Income Tax returns.
Otherwise mismatch will be happened since the TDS has been linked with
his PAN.
Income Tax on such
interest on RD accounts would be levied as per the Income Tax
Slab Rates of the person receiving the interest. The current income tax slab
rates can be divided into the Nil category, 10% category, 20% category and the
30% category.
The person receiving the
Interest on RD cannot claim any deduction on the same and tax would be levied
on the full interest amount as compared to Interest on Savings Account on which
a deduction of Rs. 10,000 is allowed.
Non-profit organizations, corporate entities and individuals alike, who wish to keep aside a stipulated sum for a particular period of time, most often than not, find that such deposits are the easiest way in attaining their objective.https://bitcoinvest.cc
