Rules of fixed deposit interest & income tax (2025-26)
FD interest is taxable in the hands of investors under the head of 'Income from Other Sources'.
Fixed deposit interest is completely taxed. Add it to your overall income to be taxed at the appropriate slab rates. It must be included in your Income Tax Return under the heading "Income from Other Sources."
When banks credit interest to your account, they deduct tax at source. The tax is deducted if the amount of interest exceeds Rs. 50,000 in a Financial year (Rs. 1,00,000 for senior citizens) in bank and Rs. 10,000 for NBFC.
It is important to keep in mind that the TDS is taken out when interest is credited rather than when the FD matures. So, banks must deduct TDS at the end of each year if you have an FD for three years.
Conclusion
Investing Rs. 2 crore in a fixed deposit can offer you a predictable and secure monthly income, making it ideal for retirees, conservative investors, or anyone seeking stable returns without market-linked risks. By choosing the right tenure and payout frequency, you can align your FD investment with your financial goals—be it regular income or long-term wealth preservation. Use a monthly interest calculator to estimate your potential earnings and select a fixed deposit plan that best fits your needs.
