Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax-free interest limits for postal savings accounts. It confirms that the Rs 3,500 annual tax exemption for postal savings interest is separate from and in addition to the Rs 10,000 deduction available under Section 80TTA for bank interest. Therefore, individuals can potentially benefit from a total of Rs 13,500 in tax-exempt interest income.
