Quick Summary
Interest earned from Post Office Term Deposits is indeed taxable under Income from Other Sources (IFOS). Even if tax has been deducted at source by the Post Office, you are still required to file your Income Tax Return (ITR). This is particularly important if you wish to claim a refund for the tax deducted, especially if your total income doesn't exceed the basic exemption limit.

Yes, such interest would be taxable under IFOS. The post office would have deducted tax at source on such interest and you are required to file ITR in order to claim refund of such tax (provided you have no other income exceeding the exemption limit).

Yes the interest is taxable under income from other sources
