In FD interest certificate interest accrued and interest credit both columns are there. I am confused which one should I include?

Also if I include both will there be double taxation in next year? As the accrued amount will be credited again.

In AIS credit+accrued amount is showing.

Kindly help.

Wrong. You have to add both accrued and credited and show that.

You have to pay tax on interest credited. For interest accrued, you have to give feedback in AIS - information belongs to other PAN/Other Year and choose self and the year in which the interest will finally be credited. So for example on a FD of 1 Lakh with interest payout on maturity, you have to pay tax in the financial year in which the FD matures, on the total interest, but if you have chosen quarterly interest payout and if the interest is not getting reinvested than that is your earning in the payout year. I hope i was able to put it in words properly.....

Thanks for the information. This FD is a sweep in FD, reinvestment each year. Still only interest credited should be added?

You need to take credited and accrued both.

Bank will not show accrued interest again under credited in next year's certificate.
