## Frequently asked questions

### Why is TDS deducted on FD interest above a certain threshold?

Banks are required under Section 194A to deduct tax at source once your annual interest from a bank crosses the threshold, so that some tax is collected upfront instead of only at the time you file your return.

### Can I avoid this TDS if my total income is below the taxable limit?

Yes, if your total income for the year is below the basic exemption limit, you can submit Form 15G (or Form 15H if you are a senior citizen) to the bank to prevent TDS from being deducted in the first place.
