Can bank deduct tds on interest when it is transfered to lic

TDS 629 views 15 replies

Hello Experts, please help me on this scenario I am very confused :(

Suppose I invest Rs 2lakh in 8% Fixed Deposit of Bank with the option to "Repay Interest and carry on Principal amount for next year". So under this scheme I will get Rs 16,000 as interest to my savings account and Rs 2lakh will again be reinvested for another year with that prevailing interest rate.

Now as per bank's rules Rs 16000 is more than Rs 10000 so bank will deduct the amount right? But what if I get the interest today and within that week I transfer the Rs 16000 to LIC as premium? Will the bank be able to deduct TDS also then??

Please help me!

bank deducte the TDS  16000 as per the 10%

@ Jaganathan But I am immediately putting it away.

Bank will deduct the TDS. It is to be noted that it is duty to bank to deduct TDS if the interest amount exceeds of INR 10000. Kindly clarify,  have you recevied interest amount in your saving bank account if yes, how much.

Int received from Banks comes under other income   any int above 10k will attract TDS @ 10% on entire amt     and

Money paid for LIC premium is money investment u/s 80C

The two has no connections at all. 

you have to file return and consume that TDS and claim Refund.

 

 

Bank is not concerned when and where are you investing the interet amount. The TDS will be deducted.

I fully agree with karadata.

kindly reply with answer

Why don't you invest in 5 year tax saving FD in Bank at 8% pa. You will get tax benefits u/s 80C upto 1.5 lacs. You buy a term plan and pay very less premium for same SA. Saved premium will yield higher return than LIC.

@ Rajesh Now I got more confused :-) but seems like your plan is cool.. can you please explain what is a term plan.. and how can I pay less premium for "SA" what is SA?

Please enlighten me Sir!

Under term plan you have to pay lower amount of premium for higher sum assured (SA). Since under term plan , claim is settled in the event of mis happening only.

You can submit 15G/H if total income below the total income chargable to tax ie. gross income <250000, your complete amount of interest will not subject to TDS if you submit 15 G/H before due date of credit of interest either in Ac or in commuletive to FDR Ac. this is the only way by which you can exclude yourself from TDS provision 

That won't solve my purpose then :P cause I would like to obtain the amount back in case I didn't use it :P
