Hi everyone,

Please find below image for my 26AS form:After spending sometime I came to know this SFT-005 code for deposits. I don't have any deposit with canara bank. But my father having deposit in canara bank with joint name. 2nd depositor name is with name of mine. Is it the reason its showing in my 26AS Form? But same amount is not reflecting at my father's 26AS form. As of me deposit always belongs to first depositor. please let me know if i am wrong.

Is there any care i have to take while filing the ITR? do i resolve anything before filing ITR? what action needs to take?

Please guide me for my query. Thanks.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a query regarding the STF-005 code appearing on a 26AS form, which relates to 'Time Deposits'. The user noticed the code despite not having personal deposits with Canara Bank, but their father does, with the user listed as a second depositor. The conversation explores whether this joint ownership is the cause and clarifies that 'Time Deposit' refers to deposits of ₹10 lakh or more in a financial year. It's suggested that the code might relate to the father's 'Capital Gain Account' or potentially a dynamic 'time deposit' facility linked to the user's savings account balance. The advice is to carefully verify the amounts and proceed with filing the ITR accurately.

Code SFT- 005 is relating to 'Time deposit' made by you.

One or more time deposits (other than a time deposit made through renewal of another time deposit) of a person aggregating to ten lakh rupees or more in a financial year than it's reported by bank to IT department.

As mentioned by you "it can be your father's time deposit".. kindly check amount shown is matched with your father's time deposit.

and let me know
have you any bank account like Saving/current a/c with Canara Bank ?

Hi,

What is "Time Deposit" in simple language? Is it same as renewal of fixed deposit?

In my father 26AS its showing 18 lacs amount which is he opened "Capital Gain Account" against he recently sold one property. This account with his name only.

Apart from these my father renewed some of fixed deposits in which he put me as 2nd depositor. 1st & Main depositor is my father only. I have savings account in canara bank.

Thanks

I think as you have a savings bank account in camara bank, it's possible that your bank could have a facility activated like if your minimum balance goes above let's say 50,000/-, than bank create a time deposit (Like FD) in your name wherever you account balance goes above 50,000....and when it's goes below that limit that FD is released by bank, ect..like swap facilities.

this could be your case.
