Income tax department changed the format of form 15g and 15h. These forms are the declaration as their income is less than threshold limit and hence no TDS is deducted on the income earned.  Section 197A of income tax act says that in this case assessee can give form 15G OR 15H to the deductor.

To whom these forms should be given
The point is simple. The person or the company to whom you have given the loan like if you have given a loan and getting interest to ABC company or you have some fixed deposits in the banks, you need to issue form 15G and 15H to the respective company or bank.
 
Interest amount limit
The interest earned for fixed deposited in banks has the limit of 10000. It means if your interest income is less than 10000 rupees in a financial year, you needn’t to give them form 15G an 15H. In the case of loan advance, interest on loan, bonds, debenture and interest income other than bank the limit is 5000 rupees.
