Interest earned on FDs is taxable
Interest received from your FD is taxable as per the Income Tax Slab. If the interest earned on FD is above Rs.10,000 in a financial year, a TDS deduction is levied on it. It will be 10% of the total interest earned. The limit for senior citizens is 50 thousand. If your income is less than the taxable range, you can submit Form 15G and Form 15H to the bank for non-payment of TDS on FD.
Withdrawal of interest
The bank had the option to withdraw interest on a first quarter and annual basis. Monthly withdrawals can now be made at some banks. You can choose it according to your need.
Penalty will be given for breaking FD ahead of time
