Exemption available on Interest from Post office Savings account has been restricted to Rs 3500 in case of Individual and Rs 7000 in case of Joint account holder. Earlier interest from post office savings account was fully exempt. 

Thus it means that after this notification interest from Post office saving account will be exempted to the extent of Rs. 3500 in case of Individual account holders and Rs 7000 in case of Joint account holders.
