The money you receive from MIS is basically income from interest paid which is taxable as per your tax slab. Next after investing this MIS income in Recurring deposit, the interest you earn on Recurring deposit is also taxable as per your tax slab.
Thank you Sir, Further to that i request you to suggest me how to invest so i can avoid the TEX, If you can suggest any Schemes.
You can download the Tax Saving Guide and it will help you decide on right investment options.
Hi,
Is there any option to pay the monthly installments for recurring deposit scheme of Indian Post office online?
Post offices still don't offer online facility for its deposits!
