06 June 2016 if Income is pertains to FY 2013-14 than Taxable Limit is Rs.250000/- for Senior Citizens above 60 Years super senior citizens Rs.500000/- , Excess interest amount Received will be taxable in the hands of Assessee . So no Expenses allowed against interest Income 200000/- is taxable

06 June 2016 Interest received from bank is taxable under the head Income from other sources. No expenditure is allowed to be deducted from interest income because for earning this income, no expenditure has been incurred. This expenditure is incurred after earning income. So Rs. 450000/- will be chargeable to income tax in ITR. If individual cover in slab of Rs. 500000/-, no tax needs to be paid, otherwise tax will levy.
