Quick Summary

If you've noticed an entry for 'Interest other than Interest on Securities' from the Office of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner in your AIS, it likely represents taxable interest credited to your EPF account. This amount, along with the deducted TDS, needs to be declared in Schedule OS of your Income Tax Return (ITR) for AY 2025-26. It's advisable to cross-reference this with your EPFO passbook to ensure accuracy.

26 August 2025 Hi
While filing my return for AY 25-26, I saw in my AIS and TIS a strange entry called Interest other than "Interest on Securities" received (Section 194A) and Information source as :OFFICE OF REGIONAL PROVIDENT FUND COMMISSIONER BANDRA EAST (MUMO03518E). The amount shown is Rs 53160 and TDS deduction on the same is Rs 5316.

My contribution to PPF+PF+EPS has not exceeded Rs 7.5 lacs in AY 25-26 and there is no bank entry in my bank regarding this amount. My question is what is this amount and do i need to add this amount in Sch OS ?

Thanks

06 September 2025 The ₹53,160 is taxable PF interest credited to your EPF account, not bank.
Yes, you must include in Schedule OS of ITR for AY 2025–26.
Claim TDS of ₹5,316 shown in AIS.
Always check EPFO passbook for matching.
