17 August 2017 There are two questions in your query:

1) Whether insurance claim settlement is taxable?

This is not an income per se but the amount is of non income nature , i.e. it does not involve earnings whatsoever or transfer of any capital asset.


So, the claim is not taxable

17 August 2017 2) Settlement received as FD with Interest after 18 years is taxable?

The point to be noted here is that the Interest thing or the FD thing is not decided by the recipient. The claim was delayed for 18 years and as a result the compensation is given as FD with interest. This interest will also forms part of the Settlement claim and therefore, not taxable as income




17 August 2017 However note that from the date of receipt any income by way of interest or investment of the settlement money thus received will be fully taxable in the hands of recipient
