22 August 2013 I also support your view as far as TDS section for Interest is concerned.
.
In my view the following case will be helpful to you-

.
In brief, in this case the tribunal has discussed that interest is just part of the compensation and it is not like interest as defined U/s 2(28A). You can treat the same as a capital receipt also.
