Fixed Deposit interest and income tax 2022-23
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. 40,000 for anyone who is below 60 years of age and Rs. 50,000 for senior citizens.
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.
