You are a senior citizen, you have got the highest threshold limit of Rs 2.40 lac. You may invest in such schemes which are specifically for senior citizens yielding higher returns. Some of them are Post Office Senior Citizens A/c , Bank FDRs etc.

Q1: If i withdraw 1,20,000 cash at a time is this would be any problematic in the eye of income tax as i thinking to buy metals (silver) Ans: It is not problematic since a single withdrawal of Rs 1.20lac is not a high value transaction. If you feel it practically problematic, you can withdraw as 60000/ +60000/ twice. Q2: As my income is 1,20,000 my limit of interest can be 1,00,000 and i am eligible to file 15H form? Q3: I am thinking to invest in bank FD and if i receive 1,00,000 as a interest pa the total income will be 2,20,000 so is there any tax liability??
Reply- Yes you can file 15H Form as your income does not exceed threshold limit and such question of tax liability does not arise.
