Quick answer

This page is FD interest in the return. Savings interest stays on the section 80TTA page. The certificate stays on the Form 16A page. The tax credit stays on the Form 26AS page. Do not send the income-tax password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the published pages state

The personal tax service chip is labelled FD interest and TDS in ITR.

The income-tax filing page asks for interest certificates from savings accounts and fixed deposits, with Form 16A named for fixed deposits. That step is tagged Savings/FD Interest. On the proof list it names section 80C, section 80D, 80G donations, and NPS u/s 80CCD(1B). It does not name a separate fixed-deposit deduction on that list.

Before upload, the filing page says to cross-check pre-filled salary, interest, and TDS amounts against Form 16, AIS, and Form 26AS. The personal tax hub says accurate ITR is aligned with Form 26AS and AIS.

TDS and the certificate

Form 16A is the quarterly certificate for non-salary TDS, including interest where tax was deducted. It is downloaded from TRACES. It is not the same as Form 16, which is the annual salary certificate.

Form 26AS shows the tax credit. The credit in a return should follow Form 26AS. If the certificate shows more tax than Form 26AS, the deductor corrects the statement before the extra credit is used.

The AIS page says bank interest belongs in the return and names Form 16A where the bank deducted tax. An AIS interest row is information to check, not an automatic copy into the return.

What it is not

The personal tax chip names section 80TTA with savings interest. The section 80TTA page says fixed-deposit interest may use Form 16A in the document list on the filing page. That line is not a statement that section 80TTA covers fixed deposits.

Deductor TDS return filing for interest is a different desk. The personal tax chip TDS on interest (194A) names section 194A from internal audit copy. This page does not state a TDS rate.

The personal tax chip Form 15G / 15H guide is a separate row. The internal audit services page says Form 15G and 15H reduce TDS on interest when conditions are met. The published pages do not state those conditions here.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send interest certificates for fixed deposits, and Form 16A where the bank issued it.
  2. Download AIS and Form 26AS and send them with Form 16 if salary applies.
  3. The desk matches interest and TDS to those statements before you approve the draft.
  4. You complete e-verification yourself. That step is on the e-verification page.

After the return is filed, e-verify within 30 days. The return is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free.

Common questions

Is fixed-deposit interest the same as section 80TTA?

No. The personal tax chip names section 80TTA with savings interest. The section 80TTA page says fixed-deposit interest may use Form 16A in the filing document list. That line is not a statement that section 80TTA covers fixed deposits.

Does Form 16A replace Form 26AS?

No. Form 26AS shows the tax credit. The credit in a return should follow Form 26AS. If the certificate and Form 26AS disagree, the deductor corrects the statement before the extra credit is used.

What documents does the filing page name for FD interest?

The income-tax filing page asks for interest certificates from savings accounts and fixed deposits, with Form 16A named for fixed deposits. It tags that row as Savings/FD Interest.
