If I gift a BANK FD by putting my earning son's name as 1st holder and putting my name as 2nd holder who has to pay tax on the interest earned on the FD? Please advice.

Hi
If your son is a major, then he has to pay tax.
If your son is a minor, then you have to pay tax.

Generally Ist named person is responsible to pay tax / TDS.

As you are gifting the Bank FD to any beneficiary then the original depositor has to pay the tax on the interest earned. If you and your son are the original depositor and your son is the first name holder and if he is of major age then he has to pay the taxes.. but generally the dividation of the interest amount between both of you might attract the share in the tax payment.

Income Tax liability is calculated on the first first holder's name.
