Is the bank deducts tax if the balance in savings account crosses one lakh rupees, how much amount in savings account in a bank is permissible without tax.
No tax deduction on domestic savings bank account unless it is NRO account

Dear Sir / Madam,
Interest earned on balance in Savings A/c to the extent of Rs. 10,000/- per financial year is exempt from TDS (Tax Deduction at Source). Banks normally pay 6% simple interest on average balance in Savings A/c.
In case the average balance in your Savings A/c for the year is Rs. 1 lakh, you will earn simple interest of Rs. 6,000/- for the financial year only which is exempt from tax. For calculation purposes, an average balance upto Rs. 1,66,666/- per year will be exempt from TDS.
Financial Year : April to March
