In the month of April 2011, One RD in my name will mature. The contribution was Rs.5000/- for 120 months @9.75%. The maturity amount would be around Rs.10,18,000/- . My present income is around Rs.3 Lacs (salary)per annum.
What would be the Tax implication on the RD maturity proceeds ?

Accrued interest to be offered for taxation yearly or the entire interest at maturity is to be offered in the year of maturity depending on the method of accounting regularly followed by the assessee.
