Hi.

If builder is paying interest on home loan directly to bank on behalf of buyer as per subvention scheme , will it be considered as interest income for the buyer. Builder has deducted TDS on this interest payment to bank  u/s 194A and it is reflecting in buyer's 26 AS. If yes, then why is it interest income of the buyer?
