I have senior citizen saving scheme in post office. The interest received is shown prefilled in row “Others“ of the income from Other Source schedule in ITR 2. It should have been appeared in row int.from FD from bank/postoffice/ credit society.Actually SCSS is as good as FD only. Should I shift it into int.from FD row while filing or let it be in Others row only

I will be thankful if somebody guide me

Thank you

Quick Summary

A user is seeking guidance on where to declare interest earned from their Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) in their ITR 2 filing. The interest currently appears pre-filled in the 'Others' row of the 'Income from Other Source' schedule, but the user believes it should be under 'Interest from FD from bank/postoffice/credit society' as SCSS is similar to an FD. Another user advises to leave it as it is, noting this is a common occurrence for SCSS account holders.
