Dear Sir / Madam,

Interest earned on balance in Savings A/c to the extent of Rs. 10,000/- per financial year is exempt from TDS (Tax Deduction at Source). Banks normally pay 6% simple interest on average balance in Savings A/c.

In case the average balance in your Savings A/c for the year is Rs. 1 lakh, you will earn simple interest of Rs. 6,000/- for the financial year only which is exempt from tax. For calculation purposes, an average balance upto Rs. 1,66,666/- per year will be exempt from TDS.

Financial Year : April to March
