Tax Benefits on City Union Bank Fixed Deposit

CUB Income Tax Saver Deposit

Resident individuals and HUFs can deposit in this account to claim income tax deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The scheme has a five-year lock-in period and offers two variants:

  • Tax Saver Silver: Minimum deposit of Rs. 100 with monthly or quarterly interest payouts.
  • Tax Saver Gold: Minimum deposit of Rs. 1,000 with cumulative interest paid on maturity.

If annual interest exceeds Rs. 40,000 (Rs. 50,000 for senior citizens), the excess is taxable. Interest is taxed at your income slab rate. If your income is below the basic exemption limit, submitting Form 15G/15H can prevent TDS.
