Tax Benefits on Andhra Bank Fixed Deposit

Andhra Bank offers ‘AB Tax Saver’ scheme that provides a tax benefit to taxpayers as per Union Government Notification No.203/2006 dated 28.07.2006. Individuals and HUFs (IT assessees having PAN) are eligible to get the benefits of the scheme.

The deposit amount for this scheme has an upper limit of Rs.1.5 lakh per financial year. The lock-in period for this account is five years. Depositing money in this scheme will allow you to claim income tax deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

In the case of fixed deposits, the tax levied is dependent on the tax bracket you fall into irrespective of factors, such as the interest rate. If the interest earned on your fixed/term deposit is more than Rs 40,000 during the financial year, the bank deducts tax at source at 10%. This rate has been reduced to 7.5% due to COVID-19 pandemic during the period from May 2020 to March 2021.
