Tax on FD Interest in Varanasi

FD interest is treated as income under the head "Income from Other Sources" and taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate. This applies uniformly across India — there are no city-specific tax rules for Varanasi or any other location.

If your total FD interest income exceeds ₹50,000 in a financial year (₹1,00,000 for senior citizens), the bank deducts TDS at 10% provided your PAN is registered. Without a valid PAN, the TDS rate rises to 20%. If your total income falls below the basic exemption limit, you can submit Form 15G (or Form 15H for senior citizens) to prevent the bank from deducting TDS at source.
