Me and my wife are both senior citizen. We need about Rs.30,000/M return on our investment on a regular basis. The investments should be safe and preferably in Government schemes. How much money we need to invest at a time and where? Thanks.
Sir, I have 16 Lakhs in my account inherited from my grandmom and want to keep the same in FD for a shorter period say 7 to 14 days only. I will prefer either SBI or Indian Bank as the ROI offered is around 7% up to 14 days and they are Public Sector Banks. My question is that whether the interest earned within this 7-14 days will be taxable and if it taxable then what will be the taxable amount???? I come under general income tax slab of 250000 Rs….Kindly revert. Thanks…..
For NRI, can invest 2 to 3 lakhs per annum for 10 years and would like to get 50 k / month, what would be the best investment? FD or Mutual fund?
Thank you & Take care

Invest in a combination of mutual funds and RD’s. Since NRE Fd schemes are being offered with highest tax free interest rates, you can invest in RD’s too
Hi suresh what is an RD ? when you do say highest returns what are we talking about … the highest ive got was 8.5% per anum
Hi If i keep 1 crore in FD how much interest i get after deducting all tds,
kindly also let me know after tds dedution will there be any other tax applicable.
i dont have any other income source.
It depends on your income tax slab. Which tax bracket you are in ?
Suresh,
Can you update the latest FD interest rates applicable and can a FD be started for new born if so what documents are required and how it is evaluated from tax perspective.
Thanks always,
Rajanandan,You can open a joint account between a minor child and you. However any interest received on such FD would attract “clubbing provisions of income tax” and you need to pay necessary income tax. Regarding other question about latest FD rates, I have written it and it is in que to be posted in next week.
Thank You very much Sir. I will keep a note of that
Hello sir
I always read ur article and must say thank you.
As I was reading the last post I also want to know how much tax I will have to pay on my bank fd interest .
I'm working in Dubai and don't know much about tax or banking. So please help
clive
Hi Clive, It depends on your income tax slab. e.g. if you do not have any taxable in India and only FD. if you are getting say Rs 250,000, means after removing basic IT exemption of Rs 2 Lakhs, you have taxable income of Rs 50,000 where you need to pay 10% tax = Rs 5,000. You need to compute the tax on FD interest based on your income tax slab.
Hi Sir
My late father has left me and my mother a flat a villa and a plot of land. im working outside india and was thinking of selling the villa and the land. As when i sell i should get more then 1 crore. I want to put it FD in BOI on my mothers name as she has a account. all i want to know is. will she get the interest tax free? if not how much % is the tax?
Hi John, Every individual would be exempted for income tax up to their total taxable income of Rs 2 Lakhs per annum. If they are Sr. citizen, the amount is Rs 2.5 Lakhs. If you deposit Rs 1 Crore on your monther name, she would get Rs 9 to Rs 9.5 Lakhs (depending on Senior or not). Means she needs to pay interest beyond Rs 2 / Rs 2.5 Lakhs. She can invest in tax free investments like what is indicated in this article. However pls consider the risk. https://myinvestmentideas.com/2013/05/best-tax-free-investments-in-india/
Thank you for ur reply sir.
Just one more thing
How must % is the tax? is it 20%
Thank you very much
John, Rs 2 Lakhs – Rs 5 Lakhs it is 10% and between Rs 5 Lakhs to Rs 10 Lakhs it is 20%. More than Rs 10 Lakhs is 30% tax
