26 September 2013 As we all know that NSC Accrued Interest deduction is available u/s 80C, except for last year.
I want to know that if a person re-invests the maturity amount into a fresh NSC, then can we claim deduction for last year’s accrued interest as well, as it is getting re-invested into a new NSC?
