I have an FD and need to include the interest an income while filing the return. I have taken an OD for on this FD for some months during the FY 12-13. So Can I reduce the interest which I paid for OD from the interest gained on FD and show only the difference as income while filing IT return? Requesting the expert suggestions. Thanks

It is not a good idea as the courts have given several verdicts in which this type of adjustment was not allowed. It is better to show interest income under the head Income from other sources. .
