Income accrue or arise in India is always taxable. In this case he is receiving income in India and will be taxable and thus he needs to file relevant ITR.

His Salary Income is exempt as it is his Foreign income but his Indian income is taxable i.e. income arising as Interest on FD's made in India is taxable.

The interest which he is earning is accrued in india. So he has to file income tax return if his income in India is more than 250000

He can file his return of Income by showing Interest income only and claim refund of tds if his total income is below the exemption limit. (salary is exempt)

Depends, if you are getting salary for work done in india then salary will be taxable, else exempt..assuming salary is exempt if interest income exceeds 250000/-, then u have to file return mandatorily. However if tds has been deducted, it is always better to file return irrespective of interest amount .

Income Tax Return must be compulsorily filed in the following cases: NRI has short term or long term capital gains from any investments or assets (even when gains are less than Rs 2,50,000). To get a tax refund To carry forward losses so they can be adjusted later A return need not be filed if income from short term or long term capital gains is the only income the NRI has and TDS has been deducted on it.
