• Income tax on nationalised bank FD interest for owners welfare association

Our home owners welfare association has a corpus fund of 54 lakhs Parked as FD with nationalised bank with interest income of 4 lakhs. That is the only taxable income. If the income from maintenance charge collected from residents exceeds total expense, Can the excess expense be adjusted against interest income? What Tax slabs are applicable for net taxable income?

Dear Sir,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

Yes, it can be set off from income from interest.

 

Slab rates applicable for Individuals, would be applicable to it.

 

I think that there would be no tax liability after adjusting expenses.

Generally most societies are registered as co operative housing society and in that case most of their income becomes exempt from income tax but as you have used the work association I am assuming you have registered your society as an association of person. In that case you may set off excess income earned from FD against the expense of society and pay tax on remaining amount on the slab rates available to individuals below 60 years of age.

 

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

Thank you

- Excess expense can not be adjusted against FD interest. Income from mutual organization is exempt therefore loss can not be adjusted against any other income.

- Tax rate will be the slab rate of individuals.

Hello,

 

Yes, you can adjust the excess expenditure to the interest income from the FDR.

Assuming your association is registered as AOP, individual slab rates would be applicable.
