Tax treatment of interest income

188 views 1 replies

Hello,

One of my relative deposited Rs.5 Lakhs in a Financial Institution. The Scheme is as folows - Within 5 and a half year the initial deposit ie. Rs.5 Lakhs get doubled.The amount accrued and credited Rs. 10Lakhs in his bank account during 2015-16. During these years no Tds deducted .

How he file his income tax return during the F.Y 2015-16? What is the tax treatment of Rs. 5 Lakhs (interest income) received?

Can we consider Rs.5 Lakhs as income of F.Y 2015-16 and compute income tax by applying slab rate in the head " Income from Other Source"?

Can he take Chapter VI Deductions?

Waiting for your advice.

It can be assessed either as long term capital gain in final year or on accrual basis for each year.
