TAX on FD. Done by unemployed student who got money from family.

Suppose I have a F.D in HDFC bank for 45 days of ₹13,00,000 which gives 3.5% to 4% in return every 45 days period.

Which is ₹45,500 to ₹52,000

I don't have any other income source except this what are the taxes on it and how can I save them!!!!

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax situation for an unemployed student who has received funds from family to place in a Fixed Deposit. The interest earned on the FD is considered taxable income. If the funds originated from parents and the student has no other income, this interest may be clubbed with the parents' higher income. However, if the total interest earned is below a certain threshold, tax rebates may eliminate liability.

If the money is given to you by your parents and you have no source of income then the income will be clubbed to your parents income whose income is higher.
Interest income from Fixed deposit is taxable as " Income from other sources"
As you have only this income, So, if interest comes to less than 5,00,000 than there is no tax Liability after rebate u/s 87A.

btw I don't think any FD give 3.5% to 4% return in every 45 days period....
Which type of FD is this...? 😉
