16 January 2013 Hi,

I have been investing in NSC for the past 3 years but today I came to know that accrued interest can be claimed every year. Can I start claiming for the Accrued interest on NSC from this AY onwards.

What is the best method for me to account the same now since I do not want to pay tax at maturity after 6 years.
