Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of interest earned on Recurring Deposits (RDs). The interest received upon maturity of an RD is considered taxable income under 'income from other sources'. This interest amount is taxed in the year the maturity amount is received, not spread across the deposit period.
