I think you should submit it in the begining of the year because they need to deduct TDS every time the interest is due so it will be better if you deposit it in the start.

Point number 16 you have to mention the total amount of interest that you are going to earn from bank.

Point number 17 means your total income including this bank interest and point number 19 means you need to mention that it is interest from bank TDS section under which it's TDS is deducted and the amount.

No submitting form 15G will ensure everything but even then at the end of the year do check your form 26AS to check if someone deducted your TDS.

Your interest income should be below 250000.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

1) File it before the credit of first interest. It is better to file it at the time of opening of FD.

2) Now a days, banks provide the online facility to submit Form 15G. You can also submit the hard copy.

- In point 16- You need to mention the income for which you are submitting this form i.e. FD interest should be reported in this column.

- In Point 17 - You total income including point no. 16 income of the financial year for which you will submit the form.

- In point 19 - Give the details of FD's with the bank.
