The tension of an osciallting pendukun is derived as :
T=mgcos\theta+mv^2/l  …...(1)
Here, theta is the angle made by pendulum with vertical line drawn through pivot. So at 90 degrees or the pendulum is horizonatl, the first term is zero, and when 0 degress or the pendulum is vertical, the first term is zero or in other words the tension is maxium. Between 0 and 90 degrees the tension changes and varies from max tension to minimum tension.
 
So at 90 degrees, the tension is,
T=mgcos90+mv^2/l \\T_{minimum}=mv^2/l
 
At  0 degrees,
T_{maximum}=mgcos0+mv^2/l \\T_{max}=mg+mv^2/l
 
To derive the  equation (1), watch the youtube video by ashish arora for tension of a swinging pendulum under physics under circular motion.
