There is nothing to worry if your uncle invest their savings in FDs while doing business for the last 15 Years. but you have to be very clear that FD interest is taxable accrued or receipt basic. Business income & interest both are combined while calculation of income tax. So your uncle needs to calculate business income & interest income and if liability appears then they need to pay tax file their income tax return for that particular period of year.
