I have two queries.

(a) After seven years, I received an L&T Infrastructure bond maturity amount of Rs 44,400.

When I initially applied for these bonds, I submitted my PAN, still no TDS was mentioned.

Is this complete amount included as additional income in my tax return?

(b) Annually, Rs 715 as gold bonds interest is credited to my saving bank account.

In my IT return, I include 4*quarterly interest amount as income.

Saving bank interest on Rs 715 is also included in the quarterly interest.

Am I to include, separately, a sum of Rs 715 in my yearly income for income tax purposes?

Ans: Here are the responses:

(a) The interest on the bonds is taxable in the hands of investors.

The full maturity amount is not taxable.

You need to reduce the invested amount to arrive at the interest you have received and you would need to pay tax on this interest received.

(b) The interest on gold bonds is taxable and hence you need to show this in your returns.

The saving account interest is to be shown separately as it attracts deduction under section 80TTA for upto Rs 10,000 and you would need to pay taxes only if it crosses this limit.

In summary, you need to show both the interest on gold bonds and the savings account interest, but separately and after claiming the deduction above for savings bank interest.
