SFT fixed deposit

Quick Summary

If you have a fixed deposit in your name and your wife's, and you're paying tax on the interest, it's important to clarify whose funds were used to make the deposit. If the funds belonged to your wife, the interest should ideally be declared in her Income Tax Return (ITR). You may also need to inform the bank to declare the interest income under the PAN of the person whose funds were used for the FD, ensuring accurate reporting in TDS returns and preventing potential issues with the tax department.
