We are engaged in real estate development and for that we have recd some funds (approx. 100 cr) during april to june as application money under FDI investment in real estate. We have allottted debentures to the investor @ 4%. We have deposited the said money in Bank FD pending its utilsation for project. Till date we have acquired only land (more than 50% payment has been made). We have earned almost 75L as FDR interest. My question is whether the said income can be treated as Income From Other Sources or will it reduce my project cost? Pls reply with relevant case study.
