Interest on savings bank accounts, FDs, loans, advances, PPF, etc. is treated as exempt supply of services if it arises from deposits/loans/advances in the course or furtherance of business, and therefore is included in aggregate turnover for registration threshold. If a person is purely a salaried individual or investor and such interest is in the nature of personal investment income (not in course of business), many practitioners consider it outside the scope of “business” and therefore not to be counted, but this is not expressly clarified in law and AARs have generally taken an “include” view where the person is otherwise in business.
If you are primarily an individual with small business or professional receipts plus usual bank/PPF interest, the safer view, consistent with AARs, is to include such interest while calculating aggregate turnover, unless and until CBIC issues a specific contrary clarification.
