26 June 2013 In case of an Individual, Section 80TTA is applicable in case of Savings Bank Interest.
.
Such interest has to be shown separately under the head Income From Other Sources.
.
Whereas Business Income is shown under the head PGBP.
.
So, a businessman can also enjoy deduction U/s 80TTA to the extent of amount of savings bank interest or Rs. 10000/- whichever is lower.
