Interest is already deducted from operating profit to calculate tax. Then why again interest is deducted from operating profit to find FIFE.

They are two separate things. In the workings, tax is calculated as always on the after-tax profits. When arriving at the free cash flow to equity we subtract the tax as one cash flow, and subtract the interest as another cash flow.
