5-Yr bank fixed deposits (FDs): Tax-saving fixed deposits (FDs) of scheduled banks with tenure of 5 years are also entitled for section 80C deduction.
From the above it is quite clear that only Fixed Deposit, not interest is available for claiming deduction. However u can make the FD of the interest amount to avail the deduction u/s 80C.
