As per new budget proposal, there will not be any income tax for interest income upto Rs 10000 in a saving account (under new section 80TTA). It seems that this will be applicable for interest income earned from saving account & not on interest earned over FDs ? May please clarify/confirm.
Interest earned only on Savings Account is exempt to the extent of Rs. 10,000/- as per Section 80TTA.
Interest income earned on Fixed Deposit is taxable and one cannot claim the benefit available under Section 80TTA.
