1. Interest from SB accounts are taxable. Further, Interest from PO Accounts are taxable unless they fall in specific exemption list enumerated in section 10,.
2.Since no employer-employee relation exists, the gift so received from the former employer is taxable under IOS subject to initial exemption specified in IOS.

Interest will be taxable for sure... refer chap Income from other sources..
there are exemption limits availble..kindly chek them.. if it is more than the exemption limit..the whole amount would be taxable...
