Hi,

You can Avail deduction up to 10000 under section 80TTA for Saving account interest

In case of Senior Citizen you can claim deduction under section 80TTB up to 50000 for the all interest from

A banking company (i.e. banks) to which the Banking Regulation Act applies (it also includes banks referred to in section 51); or
A co-operative society being engaged in carrying on banking business (it also includes a co-operative land development bank or a co-operative land mortgage bank); or

If you have any other income (other than this interest income ), than including that income, if your total income is less than 2,50,000/ than there is no tax payable.
And if You total income is up to 5,00,000/- in F.Y 2019-20 than also you are not required to pay any tax, as you will get rebate u/s 87A.

Section 80TTA provides a deduction of Rs 10,000 on interest income. This deduction is available to an Individual and HUF.

This deduction is allowed on interest earned –

From a savings account with a bank
From a savings account with a co-operative society carrying on the business of banking
From a savings account with a post office
This deduction is NOT allowed on interest earned on these deposits.

Interest from fixed deposits
Interest from recurring deposits
Any other time deposits
Section 80TTB (Only for senior citizen) provides a deduction of Rs 50,000 on interest of all kind of deposits.
