The investment will ideally be shown in the Balance Sheet of that person who has contributed the funds for making the FD. However in case all the joint holders want to show the amount equally, then they can refund the amount of FD which is equal to their share to the person who has contributed the funds. In such a case the PAN of all the joint holders should be updated in the bank records so that TDS and interest income on FD is correctly reflected and accounted.
