How is the maturity amount of NSC to be computed? Will it be included in income from other sources and added to the taxable income when accrued interest for all the 6 years has been added to income in earlier relevant years? Will this income be exempt from tax? If exempted - whether full maturity value be exempt or only principal to be exempt?

also, whether fd maturity is to be included in income from other sources?

Thanks.
