Since the post office pays interest only on the date of maturity of the NSC can we include the entire iñterest paid on the maturity date in our income tax return and pay tax. Is it allowed by IT rules. Please clarify.

Hello Sir,
I have a query regarding maturity amount of my NSCs. I had purchased 5 numbers of 6 years of NSCs(8th issue) for principal amount of 5000 each from post office, punjab. I had paid Rs 25,000 in total. On each certificate it is printed that Rs. 10,075 against Rs.5,000 willbe given at the time of maturity. But at the time of maturity 30.10.2016, I recieved a cheque of 40,025 rupees only instead of 50,375 (as per printed) on the certificates. Please tell me if it is wrongly calculated or not?
Thanks
The amount you got looks correct to me. May be they issued certificates from an older lot when the interest rates were high.
My NSC no. 3415277944 of Rs.25,000,dated 2-11-2016. Got pass book only, not mentioning maturity date and amount.
excellent for even senior citizens like me! thanks a lot! All the best!

Hi,
I have query related to NSC. I purchased NSC’s regularly since 2011. I just came to know from someone that the accrued interest can be used for tax benefits too.
I searched over the net and got affirmative responses. Now the question is Can I take benefits for previous years too. that were not claimed …:-)
NO U CAN’T ..U HAVE TO TAKE IN THE SAME F.Y AS IT’S ACCRUED……AS PER ACCURAL SYSYTEM
yes are you right…
YES, ONLY LAST YEAR INTEREST IS NOT ALLOWED FOR 80-C TAX BENEFIT.. BECAUSE OF MATURITY.
