Can we claim deduction on investment in RD or does it attract taxability on Maturity amount ?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of Recurring Deposits (RDs). It confirms that the principal amount invested in an RD is not eligible for tax deduction. Only the interest earned on the RD is taxable as income from other sources. Tax should ideally be offered on an accrual basis, and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) may apply if the annual interest exceeds a certain threshold.

It is taxable on maturity amount.. if interest exceeds 40000 rupees then tds should be deducted
Only interest amount ?
The taxability is only of Interest. You should offer the interest for tax on accrual basis rather than maturity basis. Investment in RD is not an eligible deduction for tax purposes.
You can not claim deduction on investment in RD, it's not eligible for deduction.
Only interest amount is taxable as income from other sources
