This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of Fixed Deposit interest. If your FD matured in June 2020, the accrued interest up to March 2020 for FY 19-20 cannot be claimed separately. The entire interest earned, even if it's a small amount like Rs. 7000, should be declared in the financial year of maturity, which is 2020-21 in this case.

Interest was only Rs.7000 Sir, do we still have to break it up into two different years or can the entire thing be shown in the returns for 19-20?
