Quick Summary
It is crucial to declare the full interest earned on your savings account in your Income Tax Return (ITR). The amount declared should match or exceed what's shown in your Form 26AS. If TDS has been deducted, it will appear in 26AS; otherwise, you can declare the actual interest credited under 'other sources' and claim eligible deductions under Section 80TTA or 80TTB.

No, it should be same or higher amount what is shown in 26 AS.

No, it should be same or higher amount what is shown in 26 AS.

26AS doesn't reflect the amount

If TDS is deducted by bank, it will reflect in 26AS with tax. If no tax is deducted then it will not reflect in it. In that case you may show correct interest credited in your bank account in other sourse.and  claim  exemption under 80TTA or 80TTB for maximum upto 10K or 50K, as the case may be.
