Quick Summary
For the financial year 2020-2021, interest income of £200,000 earned by a 70-year-old senior citizen is taxable. However, as this amount is below the basic exemption limit, no income tax is payable. It is advisable to check Form 26AS for any Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) by the bank and claim a refund if applicable. Filing an income tax return may be necessary to claim this refund, even if no tax is due.

Dear Sir,

The income interest of Rs. 2 lacs earned is a taxable income. It is not a tax free income.

Since the basic exemption limit is higher than Rs. 2 lacs interest income, you donot have to pay any income tax.

Further, since this is interest income, kindly check THE 26AS if any tds has been deducted by bank. If yes, then you can claim refund for the same.

If you are satisfied with above, kindly drop email to capravin87 @ gmail.com 

Have you filed form 15H for non deduction of TDS??
You mother's interest income of Rs. 2 lacs is a taxable income is below to the basic exemption limit so your mother donot have to filed income tax return. but if any TDS deducted than to claim refund of the same you can filed income tax return
