54EC bond i.e NHAI or RECL bonds are not tax free. Therefore the interest is fully taxable under income from other sources.
Any itr that an assessee files will suffice.
Also note that Rs.45000 is for 3 years . The interest accrued in each of the year should have been reported during each of the previous itr.
