The bank is correct. Actually, TDS shall be deducted from the interest portion, when they crediting to your account.
But, the bank fails to deduct the tds at the time giving credit of interest. Therefore, it deducted the entire tds amount from the principal.
I think, you read the terms and conditions of the FD. It may consists the clause that, any shortage of tds amount can be recovered from your principal portion or from your account.
