Hello Sir,
1. Current account will not fetch any interest but yes the interest earned from fixed deposits shall be chargeable to tax if the fixed deposit is in a nationalized bank. If it is in a co-operative bank then you can claim exemption for the interest component.
2. Yes, the entire interest is subject to tax.
3. The basic exemption slab for co-operative society is less than 10,000/- 10%, 10-20000 is 20% and above 20,000/- is 30%.
4. Yes, the society has to deduct TDS from the payment made to its contractors.
