Transaction code SFT-016
Transaction description Interest Income
Nature and value of transaction Interest paid/credited during the financial year.
Class of person required to furnish (i)                  A banking company or a co­operative bank to which the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (10 of 1949) applies (including any bank or banking institution referred to in section 51 of that Act);

(iii)               Non­banking financial company which holds a certificate of registration under section 45­IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (2 of 1934), to hold or accept deposit from public

Remarks 1. The information is to be reported for all account/deposit holders where cumulative interest exceeds Rs 5,000/­  per person in the financial year.

2. Interest which is exempt from tax under the Income­tax Act, 1961 such as interest on Public Provident Fund (PPF) Account, Foreign Currency Non­resident (FCNR) Account, Sukanya Samriddhi Account, Resident Foreign Currency Account etc. need not be reported.

3. While reporting the interest amount, deduction of Rs. 10,000/­  available under section 80TTA should not be reduced from interest amount paid/credited.

7. Interest will be the total amount of Interest paid/credited during the financial year.

It is good to see that atleast 5,000 limit has been provided by government for reporting in SFT and only banks and specified financial institutions are required to comply with the requirement.

Also, this would solve some issues wherein people forget to mention interest income in Income tax return as was seen in FY 2019-20 which lead to people receiving High value transaction notice.

Let’s hope after this steps and getting pre-filled income tax return people will get fewer notices and better Income tax reporting can be done.

However, still instructions for depository for reporting capital gain income is pending.
