INTEREST INCOME FROM FD

FD is in the name of Business (proprietor ship firm).
interest income of FD will come in credit side of P/L
or it will be considered under personal income under head "Income from other sources" ?

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'.

In books of accounts it will come as credit to P & L account as interest on FD morning part of profit.

but in computation of income it should be disclosed under income from other sources
It will be credited in profit and loss account.
Interest income should be offered under PGBP head, and also interest income is credited to profit and loss account.

I support SUSHANT BIDAYE view.

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.
Agree with Sushant
If the FD is from business funds it's a business income, and taxable under pgbp head
It's not like that...
Before from which fund FD is done, FD has been done for which purpose..


if It's for business purposes, than only taxable as business income.
Agree
Interest income will be credited in profit and loss account and will be shown under income from other sources
