Savings & Deposits — Quick Answers

Which is safer — bank FD or post office deposit?
Both are safe. Bank FDs up to Rs 5 lakh per bank are insured by DICGC. Post office deposits are backed by the sovereign guarantee of the Government of India. For amounts above Rs 5 lakh in a single bank, splitting across banks or using post office schemes reduces risk exposure.
What is the current FD interest rate in India?
Public sector banks: 6.5-7.25% for 1-3 year FDs, 7-7.5% for seniors. Private banks and small finance banks: 7-8.5% for competitive tenures. Post Office schemes: fixed by government quarterly, typically 6.5-7.5%. NBFC FDs offer 8-9% but come with slightly higher (though rated) credit risk.
How is FD interest taxed?
FD interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. TDS at 10% applies on interest above Rs 40,000 (Rs 50,000 for seniors) per bank per year. Submit Form 15G/15H if annual income is below the taxable limit. Seniors can claim Section 80TTB deduction on interest income up to Rs 50,000.
What is PPF and why is it popular?
Public Provident Fund is a 15-year savings scheme with government-guaranteed interest (currently ~7.1%), tax-free (EEE). Minimum Rs 500/year, maximum Rs 1.5 lakh/year. Combines safety, tax benefits, and reasonable returns. Ideal for long-term goals like retirement or a child's education.
