Quick Summary
Interest earned on your NRE account is generally tax-exempt in India. If your bank has wrongly deducted TDS on this interest, you can claim it back as a refund when you file your Income Tax Return. It's advisable to inform your bank about the exemption and ensure no further TDS is deducted. While Section 10 exempts this income, TDS might still be applicable under Section 195 for payments to NRIs, but the exemption can be claimed later.

It is covered by Section 195.

Payment to NRI.

So tds will be deducted by bank or financial institutions

When you file your Income Tax Return, mention the interest from NRE account under exempt interest section. 

The excess TDS deducted by the bank can be claimed as refund while filing the return. 

Mr. Eswar, but pyt to NRI made in NRE account ie interest is exempt under sec 10.
For the purposes of Tds deduction there is no exemption.. Exemption may be claimed in ITR and apply for tax refund

I think the bank is at fault, Interest on NRE account is totally exempt. If bank has deducted TDS ,tell them not to deduct any more TDS and ,claim the deducted TDS on filing return and claiming exempt as suggested by Puja Sharma

Interest loose it's nature and 194A is not applicable but section 195 is applicable
TDS is applicable as interest is earned in india on NRE account.Moreover tax will also be payable.Only DTAA provisions can be taken.
