Sir, please refer Notification No. 76/2015/F.No.133/50/2015. The basic condition to apply for Form 15G is that your income should be below the taxable income tax slab. Form 15G can be issued by person other than senior citizen. Please go through the Notification in this regard. Thanks.

I want to mean - what are the conditions in the light of income (total income - prior to deduction or not). Is there any such clarification by CBDT ?

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Sir your query is not clear to me it appears. To be simple if your Net total income I.e. Gross Total Income after eligible deduction is below the taxable limit then you should submit to Bank for Nil dedution of TDS in Form 15G. Thanks.

[ANINDYA KISHORE BHATTACHARJEE]

Thank u sir.

But can u please provide the exact order/clarification order for "Net total income i.e. Gross Total Income after eligible deduction is below the taxable limit", as the bank authority is not willing to accept 15G without such order/clarification and refusing to accept 15G because of income is greater than 2.5 lakh without deduction.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Sir, please refer the cited Notification No. 76/2015/F.No.133/50/2015 and section 197A of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Also refer the Form wherein it is mentioned that in case income is below taxable limit then certificate shall be issued. Thanks.
