15G - 15H Filling

Form 15G and Form 15H are essential declarations for individuals to avoid Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on their income. At LCT, we simplify the process of filing these forms, ensuring compliance and hassle-free tax exemption claims.

What are Form 15G and 15H?

  • Form 15G: For individuals below the age of 60 whose total income is below the taxable limit.
  • Form 15H: For senior citizens (60 years and above) with no taxable income.

Both forms are submitted to prevent TDS on income such as fixed deposits, recurring deposits, or other interest income when the income is below the exemption limit.

Eligibility for Filing

Form 15G:

  • You are a resident individual or HUF.
  • Age is below 60 years.
  • Your total income (including interest) is below the taxable threshold.

Form 15H:

  • You are a senior citizen (60 years or older).
  • You are a resident individual.
  • Your total tax liability is zero.

Why Submit Form 15G/15H?

  • Prevent Unnecessary TDS: Ensure that tax is not deducted at the source if your income is below the taxable limit.
  • Simplified Compliance: Avoid filing for a tax refund later.
  • Improve Cash Flow: Retain full income without waiting for a refund.
