FD interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. Here you earn about ₹14,372 a year on average. Banks deduct TDS when your interest with them crosses the yearly threshold (₹50,000 for most people and ₹1 lakh for senior citizens from FY 2025-26). If your total income is below the taxable limit, submit Form 15G (or 15H if you're a senior citizen) to avoid TDS.
