Interest on tax saving term deposit

Plz let me know if interest form tax saving certificate is taxable or is treated in the same manner as NSC interest is treated....

All interest earned is taxable if its not earned from some tax free bond or specific category of instrument.

A certificate saving your tax under 80C will attract tax on the interest income it brings.

Thanks Amit

DEAR ALL,

 

INTEREST ON ANY SECURITIES EXEMPT ONLY WHEN IT IS MENTIONED UNDER SEC 10(15) OF THE IT ACT, 1961. THERE IS NO WHERE MENTIONED UNDER THE ACT THAT IF U GET DEDUCTION U/S 80C FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENT, U WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET THE EXEMPTION OF INCOME EARNED OUT OF THAT INVESTMENT. U HAVE TO TOTALLY DEPEND UPON THE SEC 10(15). IF INTEREST EARNED FROM THE BONDS, CERTIFICATE MENTIONED UNDER SEC 10(15)(i), EXEMPTION IS ALLOWED. EXEMPTION IS ALLOWED NOT ONLY FOR INTEREST EARNED ON PRINCIPAL AMOUNT INVESTED BUT ALSO ON THE INTEREST EARNED ON CUMULATED INTEREST ACCRUED EARLIER.
