Cumulative Interest Option: Interest will be compounded annually on 31st March of every year after deducting the tax, wherever applicable. The principal along with the interest will be paid on maturity once the discharged deposit receipt is received by us. Interest amount (net of TDS - where applicable) will be paid through ECS at all centres where ECS facility is available. Where ECS facility is not available, interest cheque will be paid through Account Payee cheque drawn in favour of the first - named depositor along with his bank account details furnished. In case of MIP, post-dated interest cheques for every financial year will be issued in advance.

Interest will accrue after the maturity date only if the deposit is renewed.

Rate of interest (RoI) will be reset at the beginning of each interest period. RoI prevailing on the first day of the interest period will be applicable for the entire interest period.

No tax deduction at source on interest paid/credited upto Rs.5000/- in a financial year. Income tax will be deducted at source under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, at the rates in force. If the depositor is not liable to pay income tax and the interest to be paid/credited in a financial year does not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax, the depositor may submit a declaration in Form No. 15G so that income tax is not deducted at source. In such cases, PAN (Permanent Account Number) must be quoted in Form 15G, else the form is invalid. Senior Citizens (60 years and above) may submit a declaration in Form No. 15H. Section 139A(5A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 requires every person receiving any sum or income from which tax has been deducted to intimate his PAN to the person esponsible for deducting such tax. Further, 139A(5B) requires the person deducting such tax to indicate the PAN on the TDS certificate. In case PAN is not mentioned, the rate of TDS would be 20% as per section 206AA(1) of the Income-Tax Act, 1961. In case of deposits of Rs.50,000 and above, it is mandatory to furnish PAN.
