In 2018-19, Your residential status would be indian resident.When you become a Resident – interest earned on NRE accounts shall be taxable for you. 
It is taxable under head income from other sources.

Thanks Mr Sunil for your swift reply but bank managers from 3 Banks I met would advise otherwise. They assure that no need to pay Taxes on NRE Accounts interest if it is closed within stipulated time upon return to India. If possible, can I have have the IT clause/Article reg this for record please. Thanks

Income-tax law is clear about the taxability of NRE a/c.Interest on NRE accounts/deposits (re-designated as resident rupee account/deposit) becomes taxable on your return. However If you transfer the balance to RFC account, the interest income will become taxable or exempt as per rules for RFC account.
you should discuss with bank about rule/clause for taxability of NRE a/c issued by RBI.
