28 May 2009 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.

28 May 2009 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.
