A.It is advisable that you file Form 15H with your each bank where you have account if your income from your account and/or FDs and such other investments with banks is over a particular cap provided by the public authority to avail exemption from deducting tax otherwise tax might be deducted irrespective of the fact that you are housewife or not income tax payer. I think the cap is at around Rs 40,000/- in respect of interest at annual basis, however the exact figure you can check with your bank.

If you found this advice helpful then please provide review and give*****. Thank you.

A.Hi,
It is mandatory for every citizen to file for ITR even if you have a single source of income.
However, after a certain age (80 years), your tax will be exempted.
