Is fixed deposit interest taxable in India?

According to YES Bank website as of September 17, 2024, "Interest on FDs is treated as 'income from other sources' and hence, is fully taxable. The FD interest earnings are included in your gross annual income, and the tax liability is estimated, following the prevalent tax laws."

When are you liable to pay tax on FDs?

According to YES Bank website, "If the interest on FD is more than Rs 40,000, then PAN users would be liable to pay 10% as tax and non-PAN users would pay 20% tax on interest earned. This interest would be deducted as TDS (tax deducted at source) at the time of credit of annual interest. The upper limit of Rs 40,000 is not applicable on aggregate earnings but is for individual FDs."
