Question 1

Why Equals Recurring Deposit

Accepted Answer

When investing in fixed deposits, you need to invest a lumpsum amount in a single go. However, we all need a stable and secure monthly investment option, where we can deposit a fixed amount regularly to create a corpus over time, in a disciplined manner.
 
To fulfil this need, Equals Nidhi now offers a Recurring Deposit, wherein you can invest in small monthly deposits. The interest rate prevailing on the date of every deposit will be applicable to that particular deposit.
 
It’s mandatory to become member of Equals Nidhi Limited by purchasing minimum 10 share of face value Rs.10/- each.

Question 5

Recurring Deposit Interest and Income Tax

Accepted Answer

Tax Saving Recurring Deposit
 
The interest earned by the depositor on a recurring deposit account is taxable. The amount of Tax Deductible at Source (TDS) is dependent on the income per annum of the depositor. The three different income slabs and the applicable TDS on it are:
 
For Annual Income of Less than Rs.2.5 Lakh:For people earning less than Rs. 2.5 Lakh per annum, the TDS applicable is 10% of the interest earned on the recurring deposit account if the interest earned on the principal amount exceeds Rs.10,000. To avoid any payment of tax on the interest, it can be done so by claiming refund of the TDS deducted. This can be done by submitting Form 15G to the income tax department.
 
For Annual Income between Rs.2.5 Lakh and Rs.5 Lakh:For people earning an annual income ranging between Rs.2.5 Lakh to Rs.5 Lakh, the TDS applicable is 10% of the total income earned as interest on the principal amount in the recurring deposit account although it should exceed Rs.10,000.
 
For Annual Income between Rs.5 Lakh and Rs.10 Lakh:For people earning an annual income ranging between Rs.2.5 Lakh to Rs.5 Lakh, the TDS applicable is 10% of the total income earned as interest on the principal amount in the recurring deposit account although it should exceed Rs.10,000. The income tax to be paid by the person earning an annual income between Rs.5 Lakh and Rs.10 Lakh is 20% of the total income. Will deduct only 10% TDS which means when the person files the ITR, tax has to be paid at the rate of 10.3%.
 
For Annual Income between more than Rs.10 Lakh:For people earning an annual income ranging between Rs.2.5 Lakh to Rs.5 Lakh, the TDS applicable is 10% of the total income earned as interest on the principal amount in the recurring deposit account although it should exceed Rs.10,000. The income tax to be paid by the person earning an annual income between Rs.5 Lakh and Rs.10 Lakh is 30% of the total income. Will deduct only 10% TDS which means when the person files the ITR, tax has to be paid at the rate of 20.6%.
