I have invested in Kishan Vikas Patra for my two minor kids.The amount doubles in 8yrs 7months.Is there any interest tax liability on this every year or only on maturity?

No... not at all possible...you cannot change method of accounting once its done.. Either from first year, account as accrual and offer to tax or do it only at the time of maturity...

"...the interest on Kisan Vikas Patra has to be necessarily shown on accrual basis . This is an exception. The CBDT circular No. 687, dated 19-8-1994..."
