Dear Sir, Please consider my query and answer with case law. can I consider FD interest on receipt basis for calculation of total income. Actually I have an FD which is for 5 Years, but the bank deducted tax and deposited. But the Interest which is actually receive in maturity, that's why I am not consider the interest which is accrued for calculating Total Income. But AO raise notice you should consider the accrued interest in the year of accrual, now that can I do. This interest pertaining to AY 2011-2012.

An assessee can maintain his accounts either on cash basis or on mercantile (accrual) basis. . In case your method of accounting is on cash basis, you can clarify the matter to the AO. . Otherwise, AO is correct as hybrid method of accounting is not recognised under the IT Act. Pl Refer Section 145.
