Five year FDs qualify for tax savings under old tax regime
For senior citizens opting to file income tax return (ITR) using the old tax regime, investing in five year tenure FDs makes sense. This is because these FDs are eligible for tax deduction under section 80C. However, for those who opt for the new tax regime, this deduction is not applicable. Hence the decision to invest in five year tenure FD is both for tax savings and investment purposes. Senior citizens need to take a judgemental call which situation applies to them and then accordingly decide.Senior citizens can get a tax deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C. They can also claim a deduction of up to Rs 50,000 each financial year from their gross total income, under Section 80TTB. This tax deduction will be applicable on interest earned on tax-saving FDs as well.
There is a difference between tax deduction and income tax payable. In these FDs (5 year tenure) senior citizens get a tax deduction, but the maturity amount is subject to income tax as per the slab rates applicable to the taxpayer. The interest on FD is taxable as per the tax bracket of the investors, except for certain exemptions given to senior citizens.
Disclaimer: While deposits in small finance banks are insured by the Deposit Insurance Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) up to Rs 5 lakh, experts advise investors to exercise caution when investing in their FDs. Given their unique business model, the risk associated with investing in small finance bank FDs might differ slightly from that of scheduled commercial banks. To mitigate potential risks, it's recommended that investors limit their exposure to small finance bank FDs to an amount that falls within the DICGC coverage. This ensures that their principal and interest are protected in unforeseen circumstances.
