2) Settlement received as FD with Interest after 18 years is taxable?
The point to be noted here is that the Interest thing or the FD thing is not decided by the recipient. The claim was delayed for 18 years and as a result the compensation is given as FD with interest. This interest will also forms part of the Settlement claim and therefore, not taxable as income

However note that from the date of receipt any income by way of interest or investment of the settlement money thus received will be fully taxable in the hands of recipient
