1. Individuals having total income up to Rs.5,00,000 for FY 2010-11, after allowable deductions, consisting of salary from a single employer and

2. interest income from deposits in a saving bank account up to Rs.10,000

3. You should have furnished the details of his income from interest from bank to employer and it should have appeared in your Form 16 and required tax should have been deducted on that interest also.

agree with U S Sharma.... he has to file its return... if your income is exceeding 160000..at that point of time you are eligible for filing return...
