25 July 2025 Got it! Hereโ€™s the deal with your situation:

* **Interest showing under Form 15G on your Form 26AS**, even though you never submitted 15G to the bank, usually means **the bank might have wrongly classified that interest as exempt from TDS** under 15G.

* But since in the 4th quarter, the bank **deducted TDS properly**, this looks like an internal bank entry mistake for the 3rd quarter.

### What can happen?

* When you file your **Income Tax Return (ITR)**, the interest income will be included as normal income.

* Since no TDS was deducted on the 3rd quarter interest (due to the 15G entry) but was deducted on the 4th quarter interest, your **tax calculation may get affected**.

* The Income Tax Department generally matches the interest and TDS data with Form 26AS.

* **If there is a mismatch or discrepancy, the IT department may send a notice asking for clarification.**

### What should you do?

1. **Get clarification from the bank** about why 15G was applied on the 3rd quarter interest without your submission.

2. Ask the bank to **correct the mistake** in their records and communicate with the IT department if possible.

3. While filing your ITR, **declare the full interest income** as per your bank statements and TDS certificates.

4. Keep your **bank statements and communication with the bank handy** to respond to any notice.

---

### Bottom line:

* You should be safe if you declare your income honestly.

* But yes, a notice may come due to mismatch in 26AS and your actual income. Just respond with proof.

If you want, I can help you draft an email to your bank or a reply to IT department in case you get a notice. Would you like?
