Details on the TDS Deduction
TDS is paid on the interest earned on bank FDs where the interest is more than Rs 40,000 in a year for an individual. In the case of senior citizens, TDS at 10% is deducted only if the interest amount exceeds fifty thousand rupees.
Keep in mind that Small finance banks sail in a different boat altogether due to their business model; the risk profile of their fixed deposits (FDs) is not comparable with full-service banks. However, the depositor’s money in small finance banks is protected by the DICGC up to the tune of Rs 5 lakh only. It is actually advisable for retail investors to keep their exposure in the FDs with Small finance banks low so that this amount does not exceed the DICGC insurance ceiling of Rs 5 lakh which includes interest as well as the principal amount.
