Tax Benefits on Axis Bank Recurring Deposit

The bank will deduct the applicable tax as per the prevalent income tax regulations. Further, if the income interest on fixed deposits and recurring deposits across all branches exceed the threshold limit of Rs.40,000 per financial year, then tax will be deducted from the existing FD/RD account balance at the relevant time under Section 194A(3)(i)(a). The limit for senior citizens is Rs.50,000 per financial year.

If your annual income is much below the basic exemption limit, you may submit Form 15G/15H to the bank at the stipulated time to request the bank not to deduct tax at source.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is interest calculated for RD accounts?

The interest in RD accounts is compounded quarterly. Therefore, you can expect higher returns as compared to simple interest-based saving products.

What happens if I delay monthly instalment payments?

You are allowed to make instalment payments until the end of the calendar month in which the payment is due. If the payments are delayed further, a penalty will be applicable at Rs.10 per Rs.1,000 per month over the delayed period. This applies to accounts that are opened on or after 9 August 2016. For accounts opened before this date, the penalty applicable for payment delay beyond the calendar month will be at the existing Business Prime Lending Rate + 4% over the delayed period.
