Why Post Offices not deducting TDS on Post Office TD, RD, MIS Interest for General Public ?. When I checked with the Post Office they confirmed that they will accept Form 15H from Senior CItizens & Form 15G from Defence Retired people (who are also eligible for Senior Citizens Savings Scheme Account(SCSS)). They are not asking the general Public to submit Form15G for not deducting TDS. Otherwords, they neither accept Form 15G nor deduct TDS on Interest Payout / Credit from General Public. Is there any exemption for Post Office for not deducting TDS ? If so, please mention that also.
