Publisher’s rating: False

Fact Crescendo investigated a viral link claiming SBI offered selected customers cash prizes, cashback and other benefits for its 69th Foundation Day. It found the link was not official and reported that an SBI official said the bank offered no such service or benefit. The review concluded the claim was false.

A widely shared video on social media claimed that the Government is “now going to tax you if you have savings of over £10,000”.

Publisher’s rating: The Government does not tax people on their savings, but the interest earned on savings has long been eligible for income tax. Under the current rules – introduced in 2016 – a higher rate taxpayer must pay income tax on any interest they earn above £500 each year. That means that if they have £10,000 in a savings account with a 5% interest rate they will be eligible to start paying tax.
