Hi Everyone,

Can anybody please tell me whether a bank is liable to Deduct TDS on interest on Fixed deposit made by another bank or is there any specific exclusion for such Transactions?

post the query clearly, as bank has to deduct TDS only when the gross interest exceeds 10000 per year, with the bank only.

Bank A(Co-Op bank) has put some money as FD with PSU bank.So is it required by the interest Paying PSU bank to deduct TDS on that interest.There is any specific exclusion for Interest on Intere Bank Deposits.?

if the deposit is governed by RBI rules for interbank deposits/transfers, then it will be under no TDS usually, but appears that bank has made deposit in individual capacity where no exemption is available under TDS.
