Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to classify interest income earned on Fixed Deposits (FDs) held by a proprietorship business. The consensus is that while the interest is typically credited to the Profit & Loss account, its tax treatment depends on the FD's purpose. If the FD is intrinsically linked to business operations, the income is taxed under 'Profits and Gains of Business or Profession' (PGBP); otherwise, it falls under 'Income from other sources'.
If FD is inextricably linked with business transactions than income from same is taxable as Income from Business and Profession, otherwise it's taxable under Income from other sources.
