sukumar asked 12 months ago

I had purchased 6 yrs NSC for Rs. 1.00 lac in 2012-13 and another IX NSC Rs. 1.00 lac in 2013-14 for 10 years. I have not shown the yearly accrued interest in my yearly income tax return as income from other sources as well as taking 80C benefits. Can I show the total accrued interest for both the NSC in my return as ” Income from other sources” on maturity of respective years.
If I transfer money to my wife and son’s sb a/c and they invest it in bank FD, Should the interest received be taxable in my hand.

For past years, you can’t do. But from current year you can do so by showing the earned income and the re-investment in NSC.
Yes, you can invest in your wife’s and kid name. But yes, the interest earned will be taxable in your hand.
