- All these interest rates are for senior citizens and will be applicable on deposit amount up to Rs 3 crore.
Tax exemption also possible
If you follow the old tax system, then a 5-year tax saving FD can get a rebate of up to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Apart from this, senior citizens also get exemption on additional interest income of up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80TTB. If a person’s interest income exceeds Rs 1 lakh, then TDS (tax) can be deducted. But if your total income does not fall under the tax bracket, then you can avoid TDS by filling Form 15H.
Caution is important
Keep in mind that DICGC (Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation) provides insurance only on deposit amount up to Rs 5 lakh. Therefore, while investing in FD, make sure that your amount is within this limit. This is a good opportunity for senior citizens to invest their money in a safe and profitable option. However, before investing, take any decision keeping in mind the credibility of the bank and your needs.
