Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that interest earned on National Savings Certificates (NSC) is taxable on an annual accrual basis, not just at maturity. The user invested INR 50,000 and received INR 22,000 in interest. They are seeking advice on how to declare interest that was not reported in previous tax filings, as the interest is reinvested annually. The recommended approach is to check the Annual Information Statement (AIS) for accurate reporting.

NSC interest is taxable on accrual basis i.e annually and not on maturity..

I had not declare interest in last 4 years in income tax  how I can show in this year ? Can I show only this year interest as amount is invested automatically in nsc again.
