Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of interest earned on a term deposit held by a deceased individual. Only interest accrued or earned after the date of death is considered income for the legal heirs. This income is then subject to tax regulations, including potential deductions under Sections 80TTA and 80TTB, depending on the heir's circumstances.
