i am a software engineer and self-employed. I have received my payments in sb a/c and earned some interest in sb a/c around 2700 on yearly basis.
should i include the interest amount in my total income from my services or exclude ? As per my knowledge the interest upto Rs.10000/- is exempted from tax.

Exemption is from the provisions of TDS and not from payment of taxes. Your saving bank interest is requierd to be include in to tal income and also you need to pay taxes thereon.
