Tax-saver FDs: All you need to know
The lock-in period for a tax-saving FD is five years. Premature withdrawal is not allowed during this period. This means that investors cannot withdraw their funds before the end of the five-year term. As per the Income Tax Act 1961, tax is deducted at source from the interest accrued on tax-saver FDs, wherever applicable.
The amount invested in a tax-saver FD is eligible for tax exemption under Section 80C. The maximum investment limit is Rs 1,50,000 per year. In the case of joint account holders, the tax benefits are available only to the primary holder.
As per regulatory guidelines, an auto renewal facility is not available for Tax Saver FDs.
