TDS means that tax is deducted when you earn income, such as salary, interest, or rent. Employers, banks, and companies deduct TDS and pay it to the government, ensuring a steady revenue flow and reducing tax evasion. You receive a TDS certificate, called Form 16, from your employer, detailing the income earned and TDS deducted. This helps you accurately file your income tax return.

E01: Deciphering TDS Deduction on Fixed Deposits
02 mins
TDS deduction on fixed deposits (FD) occurs when the interest earned on an FD exceeds Rs.40,000 in a financial year. In such cases, banks automatically deduct 10% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) from the interest. For instance, if the interest is Rs.45,000, the bank deducts Rs.4,500 as TDS, and you would ideally receive Rs.40,500. The deducted TDS is sent to the income tax department. If your total income is below the taxable limit, you could claim a refund by filing an income tax return. Understanding TDS on FD is crucial for effective financial planning.
