5. Tax Saver Fixed Deposit

Tax Saver Fixed Deposits are a type of fixed deposits in which the depositor can claim a tax deduction under Section 80C of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961(I-T Act). These deposits can be made through two types of accounts, namely; Single holder Type Deposits and Joint holder Type Deposits. If you opt for a joint mode of holding, the tax benefit is only available to the first holder. The maturity period of the tax saver fixed deposit is 5 years. 

Deduction under section 80C of I-T Act is available to the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) and individuals. Even senior citizens and NRIs can claim this tax deduction. It should be noted that the interest that you earn from this fixed deposit is not tax deductible and you cannot avail a loan against the same. The interest on tax saver fixed deposits can either be reinvested or is receivable on a quarterly basis.
