Quick Summary
If you have interest income from a Fixed Deposit (FDR) that's shown in your Form 26AS with TDS deducted, but the FDR isn't on your balance sheet, you need to account for it. This interest is taxable and should be declared under 'Income from other sources' in your Income Tax Return. You can claim credit for the TDS deducted. For the balance sheet treatment, it's recommended to directly credit the interest income to your Capital Account, rather than adding the FDR itself to the books.

Interest income from Fixed Deposits is fully taxable.You are required to show that income under head Income from other sources in your ITR. You can take credit of TDS deducted.
Thanks Sagar Ji..I would like to know the treatment in balance sheet as well

Interest income from Fixed Deposits is taxable and has to be shown under the head Income from Other Sources. If the Assessee is an individual and had not shown the FD in his balance sheet then you can do two things. 

1. Increase the Capital and FD:
                  FD A/c Dr
                          To Capital A/c
        (Being FD was bought into the books of accounts in current year)

2. Show the interest income in the capital account only:
                 Bank A/c              Dr
                          To Capital A/c
             (Being FD interest received)

I recommend the second entry...
