hi, In August 2011 i invested some money in company FDs for a period of 1 year. Rather than monthly or quarterly interest, i have opted for cumulative interest - i will recive the interest amount + my principal amount at the time of maturity in Aug 2012.
Keeping this in mind if i have to plan for taxes - do these amounts earned become taxable in the current year (FY2011-2012) because i made the investment in this year or in the year 2012-13 because i earn the interest in that period.
