Senior citizens investing in FDs should note that if the interest income from all the FDs in any particular bank is more than Rs 50,000 then the said bank will deduct tax deducted at source (TDS). Presently the rate of TDS is 10%. However if a senior citizen does not give his/her permanent account number (PAN), then the rate of TDS is 20%. One respite is that if a senior citizen does not have a gross income above the basic exemption limit, then he/she can submit Form 15H to banks so that TDS is not deducted. Further, even if a senior citizen has a gross income above the basic exemption limit, he/she can get a TDS refund if their net tax liability is less than the amount deducted under TDS or is nil. But for this purpose, a senior citizen has to file their income tax return (ITR).
