Tax Liabilities on IDBI Bank Recurring Deposit

The limit on the interest income earned for regular customers is Rs.40,000 per financial year and is Rs.50,000 per financial year for senior citizens. Income tax will be deducted at source (TDS) by the bank if the interest earned on the FD and RD accounts across all the bank branches per financial year exceeds this limit. Note that TDS will be applicable at 10%.

TDS is now reduced from 10% to 7.5% due to the pandemic, effective from May 2020 until March 2021. You can submit Form 15G or Form 15H, as applicable, to request the bank not to deduct tax at source only if your annual income is within the basic exemption limit.
