Bank interest

Priyanka,

In my opinion, the taxable amount will be 15000

the exemption applies from ay 2013-14

Agreed with the reply given by Ankit!

Yes, i agree with this 

madam, the deduction is available from A.y 2013-14 u/s 80TTA. The taxable amount will be Rs. 15,000/-.

Saving account Interest over Rs.10,000/- will be taxable. So in your case Rs.15000/- will be taxable income & not whole interest of Rs 25000/- 

Upto Rs. 10000, Deductor should not deduct TDS on Bank Interest. TDS will be deducted only on the excees amount (more than Rs. 10000).

mr. Harish, Ms. Priyanka is talking about deduction u/s 80TTA from the gross total income and not on the issue of TDS on the interest income.
