  3. I am 25 yrs old. I have a FD for 3 years which wil earn me Rs 5000 at maturity. When should I count this interest income on maturity i.e. during the third year or should I divide Rs5000 by 3 to get my interest income each year.
    Secondly if I take monthly or quarterly interst my mayurity amount remains same as the principal amount, then how is the interst income calculated.
    Thirdly the income here refers to the interset income or the total amount invested with the Bank as FD.
    Fourthly my grandfather is of 92 yrs age. For ascertaining his eligibility to fill form 15 H, is his total income from al sources which includes pension, interst on FDs etc to be considerd or only the interst earned from Banks FDs to be counted.

    • You need to show the interest income every year after getting the interest certificate of your FD from your bank. You can't just divide the interest amount.
      2. Interest income calculated on yearly interest with quarterly compounded
      3. Only the Interest income is calculated not the Principal amount invested.
      4. 15H is applicable only in case of Bank's FD

    • In case your father is no more now, so as per I tax rule there would not be any taxation after the death, Just intimate your banker with a death certificate

  5. i have opened a FD on 16-07-12 which will be mature on 16-07-13, and will get 34000 as interest on maturity.at the time of opening bank doesn't told me anything about 15G,as i am a student and have no any other income. now if i will deposit 15G before maturity will TDS be deducted for the previous year??

    • No, Being a student you may get the benefit of Income Tax and amount can be refunded to you…What you need to do ?
      1. Take FD Interest certificate or Form 16 from your bank
      2. File return with Income Tax
      3. Your money will be refunded
