Interest tax?


Bank deducts 10% TDS on the interest accrued. If this has to be shown in IT return what is the applicable tax to be paid? Is it 20% Flat for Interest earned (Minus TDS) or Is it standard IT rates as per the slab (Minus TDS). As PAN has become mandatory in bank accounts, this will help all the salary persons who has to show the bank tds in the new IT returns.

There is no fixed % of tax on bank interest. It is an income to be taxed at slab rates. If your income including the bank interest is below taxable (say less than 1.1 lakhs for FY:07-08), then it is free of tax. If you already had 2.5 lakhs income and if the interest is another 20thousands, then the interest will be taxed at 30% for FY:07-08.

TDS nothing your advance tax. If your income including bank interest is below taxable, then you get back your TDS amount in full. If you have to pay any tax, then your have to adjust the TDS amount towards tax payable. If you still have to pay any tax after adjusting the TDS amount, then you have to pay it. If the TDS amount is more than the tax payable by you, then you will get back the balance amount as refund.
