If s is the size of the source and d is its distance from the plane of the two slits, the criteria for the interference fringes to be seen is
sd < λ/d
other necessary conditions are :
1) d should be small, i.e. two slits should be close to each other
2) The source should be a monochromatic source producing two coherent light waves
I hope this helps you, feel free to ask any doubts in the comment section.
