Deduction under 80TTA in Income Tax

During Financial year, if I earned interest on savings accounts more than 10k (which is exempt from tax) i.e 18k, then do I have to pay tax on whole 18k or on 8k (after deduction of tax exempted amount).

Quick Summary
If you earn more than £10,000 in interest from savings accounts in a financial year, you'll pay tax on the amount exceeding £10,000. For example, if you earn £18,000, only £8,000 will be taxable after claiming the Section 80TTA deduction. Senior citizens may be eligible for higher deductions up to £50,000.

After 10K. that is for 8K... Is taxable amount.
You can take exemption also if your threshold is below the exemption limit.

Pay tax on 8k . It is rhe amount exceeded 10k

 You have to show the entire Rs. 18,000/ as income. while u/s 80TTA you get deduction of Rs. 10,000/ therefore only Rs. 8000/- will be taxable. 

If the assessee is a senior citizen (age 60 years or more) then the interest on deposits and savings account can be deducted from gross total income upto an amount of Rs.50000/-.
