not true
interest on FD has two options
a) payable monthly/ quarterly/yearly as opted, where the interest amount is credited as per mandate to given bank account.
b) cummulative .....where the interest amount is added to principal ( after deduction of tax at source) on quarterly/ half yearly/ yearly basis ( follow the TDS certificate for exact details of credit and tax deducted)
if you have netbanking facility then you can check that there is no separate account for interest accured, but gross amount is shown in the respective TDR/FDR
method of interest credit to respective FD is same as payable to bank account, however in cummulative option the interest credited also get eligible for interest earning on addition with FD principal.
if you ask for interest certificate from bank, what they provide ........
FD value as on 01-04 ......
interest accured ................ less TDS ...........(.....)
closing balance as on 31-03 ........
does they give you break up of interest accured and interest added for year ?
you can track the FD interest yearwise, where you can get that interest amount is increased per year, what does it indicates ? as per your views .only FD is eligible to earn interest and interest accured is idle money in bank without earning any interest .
for accounting ease we do bi-fircate the same to get clear picture of FD principal and interest accured, but sum of both will not make any change.
think logically too ..........
