Interest received from Motor Accident Compensation Tribunal is taxable ?
If Taxable, 50% deduction on compensation or Enhanced compensation is available for such interest?

Show it in exempt income schedule.

15 June 2022 Thank you sir..
Is it applicable for AY 2022-23 ? Or from which year it's applicable ?

15 June 2022 One more thing sir,
How to show it under exempt income if there is no specific head ?

15 June 2022 Show it under other exempt income.

Compensation awarded under Motor Vehicles Act or Employees’ Compensation Act in lieu of death of a person or bodily injury suffered in a vehicular accident, is a damage and not an income and cannot be treated as taxable income including interest payment.
It's applicable for AY 2022-23.

15 June 2022 The said interest forms part of compensation and which is not taxable under provisions of Section 56(2)(viii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
