Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax deductions available under Section 80TTA and 80TTB. Section 80TTA allows individuals and HUFs to claim a deduction of up to £10,000 on interest earned from savings accounts with banks or post offices. Section 80TTB is exclusively for resident senior citizens, offering a deduction of up to £50,000 on interest from all types of bank deposits, including fixed and recurring ones. It's important to note that claiming 80TTB means you cannot claim 80TTA, and under the new tax regime introduced from FY 2020-2021, these deductions are no longer available.

Make clear ?

Section 80TTA is available only to an individual (who must not be a senior or a very senior citizen) and a HUF.
Deduction u/s 80TTA is available for interest on savings bank account held with-
(a) a bank including a co-operative bank,

Hence, the deduction is not available from interest income from a fixed, recurring deposit, etc.

Reply 80TTB is allowed/not.
The above is for FY 2019-2020.
But from FY 2020-2021, you have option to adopt old tax regime or new tax regime.

Under old , you will continue to get 80TTA / 80TTB deduction.

But under new tax regime, as per Budget 2020, you won't get any deductions including 80TTA/80TTB.
Ok, now I am clear.
