Form 15G is a declaration used by individuals and HUFs to claim certain income without tax deduction. While it's a useful tool for tax purposes, companies, including Nidhi companies, are not eligible to submit Form 15G. Therefore, interest earned on FDs deposited in a Nidhi company cannot be claimed using this form.
