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.

Only interest earned/accrued after death of the person is taxable in hands of heirs.

Interest is taxable subject to provisions of Sec 80TTA AND 80TTB AS THE CASE MAY BE IN CASE OF THE NATURE OF ASSESSE.
