Dear Sir, I want to know the answer of the following question. Is it mandatory for NRIs to file income tax return in India? Now the income is only from the interest of the savings account and there is no other source of income. He is now a US citizen. He has uploaded the return for the last ten years as NRI Status.

As such no problem would arise. In case of any query you can declare the your income was below the basic exemption limit. I presume, there are no other transactions as specified in seventh proviso of section 139(1) IT act, in which case it is mandatory to file ITR.... There are many types of transactions which have coverage under this Act. They include:
Total foreign travel expenditure surpasses Rs. 2 lakh. Total current account deposits surpass Rs. 1 crore in either one or multiple accounts. Payment of electricity bills surpassing Rs. 1 lakh. However, this is only applicable for the taxpayer himself or herself and not if he or she is paying bills for others in the family. Other transactions of higher values as per the guidelines of the CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes).
