Joint Account Interest Treatment


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to declare interest earned on a joint bank account when the total interest exceeds £10,000 in a financial year. While typically attributed to the first account holder, it's confirmed that if the funds actually belong to the second account holder, the interest can be declared under their name for tax purposes. This is permissible as savings account interest is not subject to TDS.

31 May 2021 In the case of a joint account with 2 holders where interest exceeds 10000 in a Financial year, how does one show the interest in income tax returns?

I read somewhere that it must be logically the first account holders.

A/C Type is: Either or Survivor

Since TDS is not deducted in the case of Savings Bank Interest, can one show it in the name of the second account holder (if funds actually belong to that person)?


01 June 2021 If funds actually belong to that person show it in the name of the second account holder. It's allowed.


01 June 2021 Thank you sir! Appreciate the quick response.

01 June 2021 You are welcome.............
