Why you should have a Permanent Account Number (PAN)?: A new provision relating to tax
deduction at source (TDS) under the Income Tax Act 1961 will become applicable with effect
from 1st April 2010. If the PAN is not furnished to the bank, tax at the prescribed rate or 20%,
whichever is higher will be deducted, while paying / crediting interest on deposits. However, there
is no TDS on interest earned on NRE Deposits in Rupee / Foreign currency and also on interest
earned in domestic SB & RD A/cs. For domestic term deposits, TDS will be deducted, only if the
aggregate interest exceeds Rs.10,000/- in a financial year. As per the revised rules, Form 15 G /
15 H for non deduction of tax in domestic term deposits will be valid / accepted, only if the
customer furnishes his PAN to the bank. Once the tax is deducted by the bank and paid to the
Govt. of India, (where PAN is not submitted) Bank cannot refund the amount. Hence we advise
you to obtain PAN at the earliest and communicate the same to your bank branch before tax is
actually deducted on interest payments.
Special attention - NRIs having NRO A/cs: Form 15 G / 15 H for non deduction of tax will not
be accepted in NRO A/cs. TDS at the applicable rate will be deducted while paying / crediting the
interest for all types of NRO A/cs, irrespective of the amount of interest. The prescribed rate of tax
deducted for NRO A/cs depends upon the country of residence of the depositor and the Double
Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), if any, entered into between the respective Govts.
