b) Since its not Jan 1st, I understand that I need to go with itemized deductions.
c) Pension is from government of India and taxed in India. Is this taxable in the US?
d) Yes already filed ITR and have paid taxes on pension and the interest income.
Thank you for your help. Any additional info needed let me know.
At the risk of being corrected, it is usually the case that, if there is a tax treaty with the other country (and you properly pay that country's taxes), then government social/retirement benefits that are similar to US social security are only taxed in the home country, not the US. If you have other world-wide income (investments, private pension, part-time job) that will be taxed in the US, but not your Indian government benefit.
I don't think you need to file a US return at all if you have no other income.
