Do we have TDS on interest earned from bonds ? If yes, how is the tax slab decided by the issuer, from where do they get information of our income ?
Hey Abhijeet,
If it is a tax free bond, interest is exempt.
If it is a taxable bond, interest is taxable and TDS is liable to be deducted under Sec 194A. The applicable TDS rate for the same is 10% (reduced to 7.5% due to Covid-19).
Hence, TDS is not deducted based on any applicable slabs.

Hello @Quicko,
Thank you for your help! I have inserted all the details, now in final E-File page it is saying “Balance Sheet
Needs Review” and I don’t know what to do with ‘Liabilities’ column, I have inserted all the details about ‘Assets’!
Let me know if you can help me with that! I think it’s the last step!
Thank you!
Hey @Gaurav2k,
When reporting a balance sheet it is mandatory to match your Asset with your Liabilities. The most common ways taxpayers use to match both in the balance sheet - by adding the following under liabilities:
- Proprietor’s Capital i.e. the amount that you bring into the business activity.
- The amount that you have borrowed to start the business activity under
- Loans Received usually used for long term loans
- Current liabilities > Creditors usually used when adding short term loans
