Is the tax relief from SRS based on the contribution that FY, or the amount sitting in the SRS account?

Per question - If I contribute eg. $10,000 now to my SRS, can I use immediately to open a fixed deposit? Will the contribution be accounted for tax relief in YA2021? Can I use the full or partial amount only? Do I have to leave the amount in the SRS for X amount of time before opening the FD?

Is the tax relief based on contribution alone in the YA? Eg. if i made 3 contributions of $3000 from May to Dec, and then used that 9k for investment in Jan, do I still enjoy tax relief of 9k?

It's based on contributions for the year. And yes you can contribute and immediately invest your SRS monies however you see fit and using it doesn't lose you your tax relief.
