Provisions for tax deduction at source (TDS) on interest on motor accident claims stipulates that no TDS is to be deducted on interest accumulated up to a sum of Rs. 50,000 during one year. This provision directly implies that if interest earned is more than Rs. 50,000, TDS is applicable in such cases.
it will taxable under in other sources
