13 March 2012 My father was having Fixed Deposits in Bank. He died. After his death the Maturity Amount (Principal + Interest) is being paid to me as per Nomination. Now Bank is deducting TDS on Interest. My quarry is:-
1. Can Bank Deduct TDS on Interest earned and being paid to me?
2. If TDS is deducted than TDS Certificate should be in whose name i.e. my father or me?
3. My Gross Income including from my all sources Plus Interest Income from Father’s Fixed Deposits will be below the Taxable limit. In the circumstances can I submit Form 15G for not deducting TDS on Interest Income?
