Premature Withdrawal and taxation on iWish Account ?

Thanks Manish for sharing this very useful investment article.

If fact i have opened i-wish goal. But I have 2 question.

– Banks are giving 4% interest on saving account and i always keep around 5 lakhs in my account for emergency need. Can i switch saving account money to I-Wish account so that i would get higher interest (i,e. 9% for 13 months) and more over anytime we can withdraw the amount.  yes there is penalty charges for premature withdrawal (0.50%) but still i would earn 4.95% extra. Please suggest is this good idea?

– What about tax? I am in 30% slab and who would deduct the tax. Does i-wish debit the tax and credit the interest in saving account or i have to declare this interest earning separately while filing tax?

Thanks in advance
