Quick Summary
This discussion explores the limit for fixed deposits (FDs) in a financial year that might attract the attention of the IT Department. While there isn't a strict limit on the total amount you can deposit, the key factor is the interest earned. If your annual interest from FDs exceeds £40,000, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will be applicable. It's also crucial to maintain proper documentation for the source of funds used for your FDs to address any inquiries from the tax department.

No There is no fixed limit for FD opening in bank. you can make FD as per your requirement but in case if interest is greater than 40000 rupees then TDS will be applicable.

No problem in the given case
There is no limit as such, but remember one thing that whatever you done you have proper source of that so that in case department asked you can answer properly
Thank to All of you
Your welcome

The minimum amount required to open a fixed deposit account is in between 1000 and 10,000 rs.
