it will be added as a part of other income.

 

Deduction u/s 80c can be taken for interest on saving bank upto 10000Rs

Interest received on FD is taxable ( Income from Other Sources). Assessee can avail deduction under Sec 80C (Upto 1.5 Lacs) only on Tax Saver Fixed Deposits ( lockin period 5-years).

Then why 80C ? Why not 80 TTA ??

Deduction u/s 80TTA is available to individual Tax payer or HUF only upto 10000/- or actual interest earned (whichever is less) in Bank savings accounts only, sec 80TTA is not applicable on time deposit or Fixed deposit 

Interest received on FD is taxable under Income from Other sources. 80C deduction is available when you invest in FD and not on interest on FD. And Sec 80TTA is applicable on interest from Savings account and not FD interest. Hence it is fully taxable.
