Its taxable u/h. IFOS....

Interest is taxable on 54EC bonds under Income from other sources.

However there will be NO TDS on the interest amount.
What about maturity of above fund after 5 years??
It's your own you are receiving back after 5 years lock-in.

No question of tax on maturity amount.

1. There is no express provision which specifies that interest received from REC bonds are exempt. To the contrary there also no TDS provision which requires deduction of tax when interest is paid. 
2. This makes it taxable under Income from other sources and there cannot be any deductions attached to the above income. 
3. Maturity amount will not be liable to tax. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
