I am a lady aged 63 years. I have an annual income of Rs. 4 Lacs, almost all from Bank deposits. Considering the current income tax slabs of "1.6 lacs- No Tax and Up to 5 Lacs 10% tax",my tax commitment for AY11-12, works out to only about Rs. 21,000. As banks are deducting 10% TDS on all interest income over Rs. 10,000, I end up paying Rs 40,000 as tax through TDS. Can I give From-15G to avoid avoid excessive TDS? Can some body help me on this? Can any financial forum take up this issue with FM on our behalf? May be the TDS limit may be raised to 20000 or tds rate may be reduced to 5% to match the current tax slabs. |
