23 August 2018 If you have only interest income you can file ITR -1
Normally TDS will be deducted if TDS Amount exceed 10000/- but bank have option to deduct for lesser amount also.
IF income from all heads including interest income below taxable limit give form 15H declaration to not deduct TDS.

Ay 2019-20.you can claim 50000/- Deduction for al type of interest u/s 80TTB.

23 August 2018 Regarding your query about consequences of filing such forms, please note that the tax laws require assessees to self declare and self comply. Whatever information you report in 15H are taken as correct and in case of any false statement in 15H, actions u/s 277 of IT Act may be taken
