A sum of Rs.140578 is shown as Total Interest received on NSC received on maturity from Post office in my AIS and the same is correct. However, I have been showing the accrued interest adding to my Total Income in my Returns from first year till date every year and only the balance due for AY2022-23 which is around 30000 need be shown in this year's Returns. How to go about it and if I show only 30000, will I get demand for paying Tax on full interest amount?
