The truth is, when you earn interest from your investments, this money gets added to your income, and you have to pay income tax on it based on your applicable income tax slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter whether you get interest income every year or every six months or even at the time of maturity, this amount of interest will be shown under &#8220;Income from Other Sources&#8221; while filling out your Income Tax Return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is advisable for investors to check this income amount with their bank statement, AIS, and Form 26AS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest
