In case of interest from FDs on joint account, the primary account holders is liable for declaring income, since Form 16A is issued in her name. however the interest earned by primary member on those FDs the actual interest amount credited to secondary account holder. in such scenario, is primary account holder is still responsible for declaring income under Income tax Act? or the Secondary account holder who receives the amount in his individual bank account is liable for tax?
