Wife gets TDS benefit

TDS has to be paid on the returns received on FD. In a way, the interest received in FD gets added to the income of the investor. Actually, many women in India fall in the lower tax bracket. Whereas those who are housewives have to pay zero tax. If you can get an FD done in your wife's name, you can save TDS to some extent. At the same time, you can also save tax.

How much TDS will be left?

If more than Rs 40,000 interest is received on FD in a business year, then 10 percent TDS will have to be paid. In such a situation, if there is an FD in the name of your wife, you can save TDS by filling Form 15G. At the same time, if husband and wife have made a joint FD and the wife is the first holder, then you can avoid paying tax along with TDS.
