Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to record accrued interest income from interest certificates using accounting entries. It clarifies the process for both received and accrued interest, including the impact of TDS. The importance of considering accrued interest, especially under the mercantile method of accounting, is highlighted for accurate tax reporting.

1)when you receive interest pass entry .

Bank A/c Dr
To Interest Income A/c Cr
( Being interest income received )


2)Accured Interest Entry will be

Accured Interest A/c Dr
Interest Income A/c Cr
( Being interest accrued but not received) .
Calculate the interest accrued by calculating the interest rate on principal amount.

TDS Receivable a/c dr
Interest receivable a/c dr
to Accrued Interest a/c

In continuation  to my above entries ,   When you   received  accrued  interest  in you account  and  TDS applicable  then entry  will be 

 Bank     A./c   Dr 

 TDS on interest   A/c  Dr 

 To Accrued  Interest   A/c   Cr 

( Being  accrued  Interest   received  after  TDS deduction ) 

What does this mean? Do I have to declare the sum of interest received and the accrued interest when filing my tax teturns? My SBI interest certificate FY2021-22 shows separate columns for interest and accrued interest. Why do we need to consider accrued interest if it has not yet been credited to the account?

I found the reason for this consideration of accrued interest, is when we use the mercantile method of accounting.
