In tax saving FD only interest is taxable or final amount?

If we deposit 1,50,000 in tax saving FD scheme for 5 years, the final amount we will get after 5 years is 2,31,419 (assuming at 7% every year and compounding).

My question is, in the year the FD will be matured, would this final amount of 2,31,419 will be taxable or only the interest 81,419 is taxable. Because the tax expemtion of 1,50,000 under 80C is for the year in which it is deposited and the year it will mature will be 5 years later.

Thank you.

As I understand, interest income alone is taxable as and when accrued.

Only interest, then it is great. Thank you for the information Shailesh.

only interest is taxable because fd is your investment and not your earning.

and it will be part of income of other source.

It is income which we are investing into an FD, to save tax. Thank you for the reply Vishal.

5yrs Tax Saver FD invested Under 80C only amount invested is eligible for tax exemption. Interest is Taxable on accural basis every year and not at the end of 5 years.
