TDS u/s 194A is deducted from interest on loan, if income > Rs. 5,000 during the F.Y.
.
You can submit Form 15G/H to the payer for non-deduction of tax, as you have mentioned that the tax on estimated total income for the F.Y. will be NIL.
.
Furthermore, the total interest income from all sources should not exceed the basic exemption limit (this condition is not applicable for senior citizens).
.
Individual < 60 years: Form 15G || Individual > 60 years: Form 15H
Note: If the payer is an Individual/HUF, he will deduct TDS, if any, if he was liable for tax audit during the FY immediately preceding the FY in which such interest is credited/paid.
.
[Suppose, payer is paying you interest during FY 15-16. If tax audit was applicable to him during FY 14-15, then he will be liable to deduct TDS. If tax audit was not applicable to him during FY 14-15, he is not liable to deduct TDS during FY 15-16.]
.
Actually, this is not your look out. Still, mentioned the same, in case any confusion arises from the payer’s side.
