hello, In computing the total income, you could consider a deduction of Rs.10,000 under section 80 TTA of the Income-tax Act on interest earned on deposit in a savings account.
No Sir, 80TTA is also applicable for NRI.
Section 80TTA is applicable to individual being a taxpayer in India. No where in section 80TTA the residential status of individual is mentioned so this section is applicable and you can claim the benefit of income tax deduction.
