Income Tax on Interest from Savings Account


Section 80TTA of the income Tax Act deals with deduction with respect to interest income from savings Bank Account. Section 80TTA does not apply to interest income from fixed Deposits. Deduction u/s 80TTA is available to an individual assessee and also a HUF. Deduction is allowed for interest from savings Account held with a Bank, Co-operative society or a post office.
PURPOSE OF SECTION 80TTA
The reason for introducing this deduction into the income tax act is to promote savings among the salaried individuals. Taking lessons from the economic downturn in the US, India government has cotempted to act. This has led to drafting this provision in a record time of 6 months and introducing it in the Budget.
SECTION 80TTA DEDUCTION
The maximum deduction an individual or HUF can claim under this section cannot exceed Rs.10,000. It is hereby mentioned that this deduction is not available for interest from savings Accounts held by firms or BPOs.
APPLICABLE TO NRI
The ‘NRO Accounts’ do earn just like regular savings Accounts. Therefore, any interest earned by an NRI is also deductible under section 80TTA.
Interest earned on NRE Accounts is not covered under this section, because, such interest is already exempt from tax.
A NRI can claim interest Deduction under 80TTA, whether the account is maintained with a public sector or a Private Sector Bank.
RECURRING DEPOSITS COVERED UNDER 80TTA
As the words ‘Savings Account’ were clearly mentioned in the section, it is easy to conclude that any interest income earned from Recurring Deposits is not deductible under section 80TTA.
Any income from Recurring Deposits are liable to Tax and the payer shall also deduct TDS at the rate of 10%.

Reverse Money Transferred To Wrong Account

Misdirect payments are a common mistake, and often  occur when people get just one digit wrong. In the world of internet banking millions of  electronic payments are made every day,  but a slip of the finger and  the wrong sort  code or account number . Just contact your bank  straight away to let it know  about the mistake.
As per the Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines, it is the responsibility of  the  remitter to  provide correct beneficiary account number and details while making payment. Hence in case of wrong transfer  to an account , only the remitter is responsible and liable,  not the bank. Bank can only act as a facilitator. Bank’s also cannot  reverse money from its end without approval from the beneficiary.
The easiest way to get  back wrongly transferred  money,  is when the account number is invalid or does not exist, the money is transferred back to the remitter automatically. The other way to get the money wrongly transferred is to send a written letter to the bank. In case the remitter and the beneficiary are in the same bank. In case the account was transferred to a wrong account  with another bank then contact the Branch Manager of the wrong Beneficiary and  explain the situation in a written letter. The manager could then contact the wrong beneficiary and request for re-transfer of  wrong credit to the remitter.

REMEDY
          In case a wrong beneficiary fails to return the money back, then a written complaint must be lodged  immediately with the money back, then a written complaint must be lodged immediately with the concerned Banks. Then a lawyer can be engaged to provide a notice to the wrong  beneficiary, requesting that the money  be transferred back. If he or she refuses to give the money , even after a legal notice,   then a legal case can be initiated, though it’s a expensive and time-consuming route for resolution. Hence, its best to employ a legal route, only if sum involved in large enough to warrant the legal expense and time.

EASY PRECAUTION
Banks normally ask you to type the account number twice , if you happen to commit  a mistake in typing, the mismatch in the two numbers will not allow  you to proceed further. Then, if the IFSC code is correct, it will ensure that the intended bank and branch are at least coordinated. If you want to transfer a large sum of money online, you can do a ‘test’  transfer. Once you received  a conformation, you can check then safely transfer the rest.
