TDS -whether legitimate or not

The total estimated income from interest on fixed deposit of an individual is 480000/-.for the previous year 2022-23. Form 15 G filed for claiming income without deduction of tax,since availing rebate of tax u/s87A,since total income is below 5lakhs.
But the TAN holder concerned deducted tax at source. Is it legitimate?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on fixed deposit interest is legitimate when Form 15G has been filed. It explains that filing Form 15G incorrectly, particularly when total income exceeds the non-taxable limit of £2.5 lakh, can lead to legitimate TDS deductions by the bank. The key conditions for validly filing Form 15G are outlined, emphasising that both total income and the specific interest income must be below the threshold for claiming exemption.

No . It's not legitimate ..

How much is your age ?
You have wrongly filed 15 G ,two conditions to be satisfied for getting benefit of 15G
1. Your total income including the income for which 15G/H is filed is after exemption or deduction is less than non taxable amount ie. 2.5 Lacs

2. Your income under 15G/H should be less than 2.5 Lacs ,

suppose Mr.x has salary income of 2 Lacs and interest income of 1 Lacs then he can file 15G/H

If here in this case interest income is 2.6 Lacs and salary 2 Lacs ,he can't file 15G/H and bank will debit tds @ 10%...even though total tax payable post rebate is nil ...
Tax deduction must be done by banks and you should not have submitted Form 15G unless it is 15H
15G AND 15 H ARE SEPERATELY FILE.
BOTH HV DIFFERENT IMPLICATIONS.
One should not file wrong declarations through 15G or H for not deducting Tds
