I have invested Rs. 100,000/- to Central Bank of India's 5 years Tax Savings Term Deposit. Interest Accrued (yearly) is eligible for deduction u/s 80C ?

1) If you can fill form 15G/15H as per applicablity

2) If bank is deducting tax

if either condition satisfying than you should show that interest amount as INCOME TAX Is silent on interest amount

Interest accrued on tax saver FDR is taxable income and no deduction u/s 80c is allowable under income tax act for intt. on tax saving FDR. Only principal is allowed as deduction u/s 80c.
