I have received the interest amount of Rs. 12 Lac from Haryana Urban Development Authority ( HUDA) against Interest for Land Acquisition 25 years back.

I think the interest amount is for 25 years and it should be exempt.

Pl. confirm that it will be exempt fully of partially in which section.

It taxable then in which section.

Regards

Interest received on compensation or enhanced compensation is taxable as income from other sources[sec.56(2)(ix)] in the year in which it is received regardless of its accrual & deduction is available @ 50% on such amount of interest[sec.57(iv)].
No other deduction is permitted from such amount.
