Forms 15G (for individuals below 60 years) and 15H (for senior citizens) are self-declaration forms that help eligible taxpayers avoid Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on interest or dividend income when their total taxable income is below the exemption limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now, individuals and senior citizens were required to:
\u2022 Submit separate 15G\/15H forms
\u2022 To each bank, company, or institution
\u2022 Where they had investments or earned interest\/dividend income
For those with multiple investments, this meant multiple submissions, more paperwork and unnecessary hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new self-declaration facility has made the process significantly easier.
For Individuals (Form 15G)
Individuals below 60 years can now submit their declaration directly to depositories like NSDL or CDSL.
The depositories will then:
\u2022 Forward the declaration
\u2022 To all respective companies where investments exist
\u2022 Ensuring non-deduction of TDS
This eliminates the need to approach each company separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior citizens can also submit a single self-declaration with the depositories.
The depository takes responsibility for distributing the form to all relevant companies \u2014 making the process smooth and stress-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This update brings several benefits:
\u2022 One-time submission.
\u2022 Less paperwork.
\u2022 Reduced compliance burden.
\u2022 Time-saving.
\u2022 Greater convenience.
Above all, it offers peace of mind for non-taxpayers and senior citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a small but meaningful step toward simplifying tax procedures and reducing unnecessary complexity. For eligible taxpayers, it\u2019s truly a relief \u2014 fewer forms, fewer follow-ups, and a smoother process overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
