If you are salaried employee, the employer himself deduct tax for the whole financial year. The interest from SB account is exempted upto ₹ 10,000/-. Beyond this amount it is taxable. The interest on fixed deposits is not exempted and liable tobe taxed. You may inform this type of income to your employer who will deduct tax for that portion also. Or you may separately assess the tax and pay to the credit of the Central Government and file return accordingly.
