It is applicable for cumulative interest for all savings banks ac na? Or only same bank 40k will be reported?
Savings Bank account interest is different. The Term Deposit Account aka FD is different having its own account number. Savings account interest above 10K is taxable but if your whole taxability is zero you won't pay any tax. The deduction is allowed only in old regime not new one.
Savings interest is reported even if it is Rs.1 by banks and for all accounts within a bank across India.
40K or 50K (in case of Senior Citizen) is for FD interest only. The thing that matter here is below 40K/50K, TDS of 10% won't be deducted. Above this mark, you will need to have TDS deducted and if your income is below taxability of 5L (old regime) and 7L (new regime), you are eligible to submit form 15G/15H which has to be submitted every financial year and only once per Customer ID. You can have 5 or 10 Fixed Deposits in a Customer ID and for all of these only one 15G/15H will be applicable in case you don't want TDS to be deducted.
Let me clarify with an example:
1. You have 2 Account(s) in SBI (One in Home City and Other somehwere else).
Your Savings Account Interest from both accounts in FY 24-25 = Rs.1500 and Rs.1000. Total- Rs.2500
You have three FDs of 1 Lakh each at 7.10% interest and you made these in April itself.
Your FD interest: Estimated: Rs.7400x3= Rs. 22200.
No TDS will be applicable on FD as it is under 40K. But these are part of you income and 2500+22200 will be considered while calculating your tax liability.
So in whole SBI (across India) your FD interest is below 40K now.
2. You have one account with HDFC.
Savings Acc Interest from HDFC for FY 2024-25: Rs. 3000
You have two FDs wiht HDFC (don't matter whether from same savings account or made on standalone basis at branch) of Rs.5 Lakh each with 7.3% interest and made in April itself.
Total Interest: Rs. 33668x2 = Total = Rs. 67336 (more than 40K mark). So a TDS of Rs.6734 will be deducted by HDFC and deposited to department as per quoting your PAN and it will be visible in 26AS and this will be deducted on quarterly basis on deposited per quarter. If no PAN is available in account or Cust ID, a flat 20% TDS will be deducted but it won't be deposited as per your PAN because it was not available. You can claim this TDS by furnishing PAN to bank and then ask them to file TDS correction form from their end so that this 20% is visible in your 26AS according to PAN.
But if you submitted Form 15G (or 15H in case of senior citizens), TDS of 10% won't be deducted but you should make sure your income tax will be Nil for this FY.
All these will be reported in AIS separately.
Your Total Savings Income for FY 24-25= 1500+1000+3000 = Rs.5500
Your Total FD income: Rs. 22200 + 33668 + 33668 = 89536.
As SBI interest was less than 40K, no TDS. HDFC (if no form 15G attached) will deduct Rs.6734. So it is per bank based.
