i havebank FDs for Rs 24,00,000 earning interest @ 6.3% income. Interest rate has since increased in presently *%. Cancelling of fds and making fresh fds will involve Penalty and deduction of differential interest. Can i take loan against FDs(@6.8%) and invest the loan amount to earn 8% bank interest. In such a case can i net the interest income for taxation deucting the total interest paid to bank from gross interest income
