Quick Summary
Form 15H allows senior citizens to claim exemption from Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). The key limit for submitting Form 15H is linked to the basic exemption limit, which is currently Rs. 3 lakhs for citizens aged 60-80 and Rs. 5 lakhs for those over 80. While it's not strictly required if your income is below this threshold, some banks may request it as a formality. It's important to declare your estimated total income accurately when submitting the form to your bank or financial institution.
The form 15H can be submitted by senior citizens if the 'net taxable income' is below the basic exemption limit. i.e. below Rs. 3 lakhs for senior citizens till 80 years. and below Rs. 5 lakhs for senior citizens above 80 years.
Mr Reddy S, thanks but even if income is below the exemption limit of 3 lakhs I understand Form 15H is required to be filed in cases where income from dividend is above Rs 5000/- as per income tax rules. Am I right ?
