The interest will be taxable under the head income from other sources and expenditure incurred for earning such interest such as bank charges etc will be allowed as deduction.

I agree with Mr. Nitin. Also,if your father has no other income other than this, whole of the interest income will be exempt as it is below Basic exemption limit.
