SBI Scheme: ₹10 lakh in 10 years on deposit of ₹5 lakh

On the other hand, a senior citizen deposits Rs 5 lakh in lump sum in SBI’s 10 year maturity scheme. According to SBI FD Calculator, senior citizens will get a total of Rs 10,51,175 on maturity at 7.5 percent annual interest rate. In this, there will be fixed income of Rs 5,51,175 from interest.
SBI FDs: Interest income taxable
Fixed deposits/term deposits of banks are considered safe. This is a good option for investors who do not take risks. Tax exemption under Section 80C is available on 5 year tax saving FD. However, the interest received from FD is taxable. According to Income Tax Rules (IT Rules), Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) is applicable on FD schemes. That is, the amount received on maturity of FD will be considered as your income and you will have to pay tax as per the slab rate. According to IT rules, the depositor can submit Form 15G/15H for exemption from tax deduction.
