Disclaimer: While deposits in small finance banks are insured by the Deposit Insurance Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) up to Rs 5 lakh, experts advise investors to exercise caution when investing in their FDs. Given their unique business model, the risk associated with investing in small finance bank FDs might differ slightly from that of scheduled commercial banks. To mitigate potential risks, it's recommended that investors limit their exposure to small finance bank FDs to an amount that falls within the DICGC coverage. This ensures that their principal and interest are protected in unforeseen circumstances. When is TDS deducted from bank FDs? TDS is required to be deducted by banks if the interest amount in an FD is above Rs 1 lakh in a particular bank. Do note that TDS is not any additional tax, you can get this tax back as a refund or adjust it with your total tax liability at the time of income tax return filing (ITR). Moreover, if you are eligible for a tax refund then you might be eligible for interest on tax refund.For instance, if a senior citizen's income is Rs 11 lakh then, it's not subject to income tax due to Section 87A tax rebate under the new tax regime for FY 2025-26. Section 87A tax rebate is available for up to Rs 12 lakh income level under the new tax regime.Moreover, a senior citizen can submit Form 15H to prevent TDS deduction if his total income after all deductions claim and Section 87A rebate is below the taxable limit like Rs 12 lakh for the new tax regime or Rs 5 lakh for the old tax regime.Despite the fact that no income tax is levied on such an income level (below Rs 12 lakh), banks and other financial institutions will still deduct TDS. This is because the law mandated them to deduct TDS once the interest/income amount crossed a particular threshold which was Rs 1 lakh for senior citizens. This happens because banks are not aware about tax liability and deduct TDS whenever the annual interest amount crosses Rs 1 lakh. So, can such a senior citizen file form 15H to avoid TDS on fixed deposits in such situations.

India to boost rare earth magnet production to counter China's supply curbs: G Kishan Reddy
Union Minister for Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy on Saturday said that the Central Government has decided to begin the production of rare earth magnets in Hyderabad, as part of its broader push for self-reliance in critical technologies. Speaking to ANI, the minister said, "The Central Government has decided to produce rare earth magnets in Hyderabad. Our Mining Ministry's NFTSM institute is working diligently, along with various industries, to manufacture the necessary machinery." Reddy further added that the government will soon showcase its capabilities in manufacturing permanent magnets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo "Within the next 3-4 months, they will showcase their efforts in manufacturing permanent magnets. This initiative involves collaboration between the industry, mining, and other ministries, and has been discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Central Government is working seriously towards the production of rare earth magnets," he said. Highlighting India's shift in sourcing strategy, the minister noted that India was previously entirely dependent on China for rare-earth permanent magnets. Live Events "We were 100 per cent dependent on China for rare earth permanent magnets, but recently China denied supplying to us," Reddy said. China had announced in April 2024 that it would impose export controls on certain rare earth-related items, triggering a global supply shortage, including in India. In the light of rare earth magnet production, on Friday, Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman of India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), welcomed the central government initiatives to ramp up rare earth magnet production in India, particularly the incentives the latter is earmarking for. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the setting up of the Critical Mineral Mission in the Union Budget for 2024-25 on July 23, 2024. The Union Cabinet in January 2025 approved the launch of the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM) with an expenditure of Rs 16,300 crore and an expected investment of Rs 18,000 crore by Public Sector Undertakings.

PM Modi highlights job creation through welfare, manufacturing push
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday emphasised his government's focus on generating employment in the public and private sectors, asserting that the country has progressed in every field in the past 11 years. In a virtual address after the distribution of over 51,000 appointment letters, he said his government's welfare schemes, be it building over 4 crore houses for the poor, distributing over 10 crore new LPG connections or the rooftop solar programme, have created lakhs of new employment opportunities and so have a host of other initiatives that led to growth in manufacturing sector. Speaking of his recent five-nation tour, he said the whole world now recognises the strength of India's demography and democracy. The ability of India's youth is its biggest capital and a guarantee of the country's bright future, he added. He said, "The world acknowledges today that India possesses two infinite powers. One is demography, the other is democracy. In other words, the largest youth population and the largest democracy." The prime minister asserted that the agreements signed during his tour will benefit Indian youth both within the country and abroad. The treaties cover critical sectors such as defence, pharmaceuticals, digital technology, energy, and rare earth minerals and will create far-reaching benefits. "These initiatives will not only strengthen India's global economic standing but also generate meaningful opportunities for young Indians in both manufacturing and services," he said. Noting that over 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty in the past 10 years, the prime minister said it would not have happened but for the employment and sources of income generated for them. These poor people used to have a difficult living and feared death but became so strong that they defeated poverty, he added. Citing an International Labour Organization report, Modi said over 90 crore people were covered under the ambit of welfare schemes in the last decade. India, based on its Gini index, is among the countries with the highest equality, he said, underscoring his government's pro-people efforts. Modi said his government's focus on boosting manufacturing has paid off, saying electronic manufacturing has risen over five times to be worth Rs 11 trillion in 11 years and mobile manufacturing units number nearly 300 from two to four earlier. Defence manufacturing is being discussed proudly after Operation Sindoor, he said in an apparent reference to the display of India's indigenous military capability during the conflict with Pakistan. The worth of defence production has gone beyond Rs 1.25 trillion, he said, adding that India is now on its way to becoming the third-largest economy. Modi said India has emerged as the largest locomotive producer in the world and rail and metro coaches have registered strong exports. The automobile sector, he added, has attracted USD 40 billion in FDI in just five years, resulting in new factories, new job opportunities, and record vehicle sales. The government, he said, is also focusing on creating new employment opportunities as he referred to the Employment Linked Incentive Scheme, under which people in their first job in the private sector will be given Rs 15,000. The government will contribute to the first salary of their first job and has allocated a budget of approximately Rs 1 trillion, he said, adding that it is expected to help in the creation of about 3.5 crore new jobs. He stressed the transformative power of India's manufacturing sector in driving national growth, generating employment, and accelerating India's journey toward becoming the world's third-largest economy. Appointment letters were distributed as part of the government's Rozgar Mela. The Rozgar Mela will play a significant role in providing meaningful opportunities to the youth for their empowerment and participation in nation-building, a government statement has said. Over 10 lakh recruitment letters have been issued so far under it, it said.
