24-11-2004 =Opened Post Office 5 year RD a/c = 4000 pm for 5 years

24-11-2009= Maturity of  Post Office 5 year RD a/c

Interest Recd on Maturity of Post Office 5 year RD a/c  = 51,560

Since accured interest was not shown / given by Post Office every year,

the same was not accounted every year.  Rs.51,560  is to be accounted  in FY-2009-10 / AY - 2010-11.

Tax Query:

What options are available?

Interest = 51560  can be  as claimed  deduction u/s 80C or any other section.

Regards  and Thanks in advance.
