On completing the given passbook, we get

 Date Particulars Withdrawals Deposit Balance Feb8 B/F - - Rs. 8500 Feb 18 To self Rs. 4000 - Rs. 4500 April 12 By cash - Rs. 2230 Rs. 6730 June 15 To self Rs. 5000 - Rs. 1730 July 8 By cash - Rs. 6000 Rs. 7730

Principal for the month of Feb = Rs. 4500
Principal for the month of March = Rs. 4500
Principal for the month of April = Rs. 4500
Principal for the month of May = Rs. 6730
Principal for the month of June = Rs. 1730
Principal for the month of July = Rs. 7730
Total Principal for 1 month = Rs. (4500 + 4500 + 4500 + 6730 + 1730 + 7730)

= Rs. 29690

P =   Rs 29690, T = 1/12year, R = 6%

∴Interest = (29690 xx 6 xx 1)/(100 xx 12)

= Rs 148.45
