If a person gets 3,00,000 interest on his fixed deposits and if he doesn't have any other income source, can he submit 15G for 2,50,000 interest and ask the bank to deduct only 5,000 TDS for the remaining 50,000 interest or as the total income is more than 2,50,000, 15G does not apply at all?

Or the bank deducts 30,000 TDS instead of 5,000 and he has to claim 25,000 refund from the income tax department?

What should he do if he has no income source other than the interest on fixed deposits which is more than 2,50,000?

Thank you.

Technically if the income is above cutoff, you cannot fill 15G/H. bank will deduct and you claim refund.

As there will be such customers and such cases, there should be some procedure apart from deduction and claiming later.

Thanks for the reply.

But the person can submit Form 13 as per Sec 197 for lower deduction of TDS to Income tax officer as his TDS amount is more than the Income tax and technically his tax liability will be only Rs 3000 as rebate will be available for him an amount of Rs 2000.

Any procedure where we can tell the bank not to deduct more? What is this rebate of 2000? For 50,000 at 10% TDS should be 5,000.

Thanks for the reply.

So, if the interest is more than 2,50,000, we cannot give 15 G at all? Going to the IT department is the only option or we can settle this with bank itself?

Thank you for the information.

No, we cannot give 15 G we should go to the AO and obtain non/lower deduction certificate from the AO, we can't settle with the bank.

When we consider about the tax liability as his income was less than 5 Lakhs - he can claim a rebate of Rs 2000. So his tax liability will be Rs 3000 only (provided he has only interest income).
