During Financial year, if I earned interest on savings accounts more than 10k (which is exempt from tax) i.e 18k, then do I have to pay tax on whole 18k or on 8k (after deduction of tax exempted amount).
If the assessee is a senior citizen (age 60 years or more) then the interest on deposits and savings account can be deducted from gross total income upto an amount of Rs.50000/-.
