Hi, Officially, there is no notification on this. But, I believe that Section 80ttb provides for exemption of interest received on deposits in banks, cooperative societies engaged in banking business or a post office. Investment in Senior Citizens’ Savings Scheme qualifies as a ‘deposit’ in a post office.  Related articles :
