30 March 2021 Interest on FD,to be offered under "income from other sources", can be declared on "cash basis" as per section 145 (1) of the Income tax Act,1961 meaning there by FD interest can be offered in the year of maturity if the assesse so opts provided that method has to be regularly followed.
