15 June 2011 Sir,

one of our client had redeemed Sardar Sarovar Bonds in AY 2009-10. Bonds were redeemed for 2,00,000/-. The redemption was made by the govt before the due date. Bonds were purchased in secondary market.

the warrant shows the following details

Principal Amount -14,400/-
Interest Amount -1,85,600/-

also, in TDS column, it is mention as "NIL Exempt". What is the meaning of this?

What are the tax implications on the redemption of the Bonds?
