Hai, I don't think that govt will deduct TDS on interest for your income tax refund.
they will look, whether you have disclose your interest income on your income tax refund to your Income tax return.
Hope i am clear.
If ,i mistake please let me know i will correct my self.

As per s194A(3)(viii), no TDS is to be deducted on interest paid under I-T Act.

As far as my knowledge goes there is no TDS on interest on refund from Govt. As a consequence there is no display in 26AS too.

Hi All,
The TDS deduction is also applicable on IT refund by give but only refunds paid to non-resident assessees. In my experiance myself assisted the DCIT of international taxation chennai, to file the necessary eTDS returns online for the TDS deductions made by them on the IT refunds issued to non-residents. Hence it is applicable for non-residents and NOT for resident assessees.

No TDS will be deducted. but if interest is payable to NR by Govt then TDS will be deducted u/s 195 without any threshold limit.

you need to file return, offer interest on IT refund to tax and claim TDS against your tax liability.
This may result in a refund.

Section 194A
Sub Section 1
Sub clause viii
reads as under
to such income credited or paid by the Central Government under any provision of this Act or the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922 (11 of 1922), or the Estate Duty Act, 1953 (34 of 1953), or the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 (27 of 1957), or the Gift-tax Act, 1958 (18 of 1958), or the Super Profits Tax Act, 1963 (14 of 1963), or the Companies (Profits) Surtax Act, 1964 (7 of 1964), or the Interest-tax Act, 1974 (45 of 1974);]
As per section TDS should not be deducted on interest paid u/s 244A.
TDS will be deducted u/s 195 in case of NR.
Since your case is of resident individual, there seems to be an error by Govt
