When you make an investment like Fixed Deposit (FD), the financial institution deducts TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) if your total interest income in a financial year is above Rs. 10,000. The evaluation encompasses all your deposits and savings. However, you can avoid paying TDS if your total interest income is less than the taxable limit by submitting Form 15G and 15H under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act 1961.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both 15G and 15H have the same purpose. The only difference is that HUFs, trusts and individuals below 60 should consider 15G while senior citizens should furnish 15H. Submit at the start of the fiscal year to enjoy the <\/span>benefits of 15G and 15H<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, make sure to fill it up correctly. You will, otherwise, be penalised for any wrong, incorrect or false declaration in the forms under Section 277 of Income Tax Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

How should you fill Form 15G and 15H?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Form 15G: <\/b>The form has 19 fields in total.<\/span><\/p>\n
