(a)saving account,
(b)Cooperative bank &
(c)Post office saving scheme ...

Earlier int on saving a/c was taxable as per slab rate...but w.e.f. 1st Apr, 2012, an amendment has been brought in I.T.Act. acc to which a deduction of Rs. 10000 is allowed u/s 80tta..

The deduction is only available to individual & HUF and is over & above the deduction provided under 80C.

This additional deduction u/s 80TTA is applicable only to individual and HUF on interest income from bank saving account .i.e this deduction is not applicable on interest received on time deposit/term deposit.

Eligible Assessee for section 80TTA: only Individual and HUF are elegible under this section, so a firm, an association of persons or a body of individuals will not get the benefit of this section.

Deduction Limit/ Maximum Deduction under Section 80TTA: Rs 10,000/- or actual interest receipt from saving bank account , which ever is lower. Example1. if person receive interest of Rs 15000/- from saving bank account then he has to pay tax on Rs 5000/- and Rs 10,000/- he can claim as deduction u/s 80TTA.
