Quick Summary
When you have a Fixed Deposit (FD) with a 3-year term where interest is paid on maturity, you generally need to declare the accrued interest in your Income Tax Return (ITR) every financial year. This is because banks report the interest earned annually. Declaring it on an accrual basis helps you comply with tax regulations and avoid potential notices from the Income Tax Department.

As bank will be declaring the interest amount every year, it is advisable to declare the accumulated interest amount by end of march every year in ITR.

Interest should be declared in ITR based on accrual basis . Else you may get an sms and email from IT Dept
