HI DIMPLE ,

THERE IS NO SUCH PROVISION REGARDING CEILING LIMIT OF RS.10000/= IN RESPECT OF INT. SB A/C , ACCORDING TO SEC. 194A , TAX NEED NOT TO BE DEDUCTED ON THE INTEREST OTHER THAN ON TERM DEPOSIT PAID BY THE BANKING COMPANIES & CO OPERATIVE SOCEITY

HOPE YOU WILL SATISFY BY THE ANSWER......

Dear Dimple,

Interest upto Rs.10,000/- in SB A/cs is tax-free for F.Y.2012-13(A.Y.2013-14).There are no conditions to avail of this benefit.Trust this clarifies.

Dear Renu,

Interest on SB A/c and F.D. have different tax treatment.While interest upto Rs.10,000/- is tax-free in SB A/c, F.D. interest is fully taxable.In bank F.D.,TDS is applicable only if the interest amount for the year exceeds Rs.10,000/- in a F.Y. per Bank and per Branch.All these are applicable for F.Y.2012-13.

Last year,i.e.in F.Y.2011-12, both SB interest and F.D. interest were fully taxable but TDS,again, was applicable on F.D. interest only if the total amount exceeded Rs.10 K for the year.

Thus there IS a change in SB interest rules but not for F.D. from last year to this year.

Hey Dimple,

the answer for your query is that a new section 80TTA has been inserted wef A.Y.2013-14, which provides a deduction upto Rs.10000 to an assessee being an Individual or HUF only in respect of interest from saving bank A/c , Post Office, or a Co-operative society , However no such deduction is available to AOP, firm etc..
