Deduction against Interest Income

Created by Bharti Vasvani, Modified on Fri, 25 Oct at 5:35 PM by Bharti Vasvani

Section 80TTA provides a deduction on interest earned from savings accounts with banks, post offices, or cooperative societies. Note that it only applies to interest from savings accounts, not fixed or recurring deposits.


Common Questions:


1. Why is my deduction amount zero?

   If the interest income was set off against other heads of income or losses in the current year, the deduction might be zero.


2. Does it include interest from FDs?  

   No, it only covers interest from savings accounts. For senior citizens, Section 80TTB allows a higher deduction of ₹50,000, including interest from FDs.


The deduction is automatically calculated on Quicko. Here's how to check it.
