Taxation Clarification on Bonds Interest

Hi everyone,

I recently invested ₹1,08,788.82 in Shriram Finance Bonds through the Stable Money app. They have mentioned that I will receive ₹9,000 as interest on December 19, 2024, and another ₹9,000 on December 19, 2025.



However, I noticed that in my ITR, the total interest of ₹18,000 (₹9,000 for FY24-25 and ₹9,000 for FY25-26) might be reflected. This makes me wonder if I would need to pay tax on the entire ₹18,000 rs instead of just 9,000.

Could someone please clarify how taxation works in this case?

Thank you for your help!

quick Q for you: Have you opted for cumulative payout instead of annual payout?

In case you have opted for annual payout: As of now you have not recd any interest payout. You will get Rs 9000 - 900 = Rs 8100 this year (next mth)… They will deduct 10% TDS before crediting the interest.

If interest has not yet been paid, there is no way that “the total interest of ₹18,000 (₹9,000 for FY24-25 and ₹9,000 for FY25-26) might be reflected” can happen. Interest is credited first only & after that particular quarter ends, will the interest entry be seen in 26AS and AIS/ TIS. Sometimes it doesn’t even show up for 5-6 months…

If you are referring to AIS/ TIS section on the IT portal after logging in, and if it is indeed seen twice … then it might be a discrepancy… often interest amounts are displayed twice… There is a way to request for correction. You can choose the appropriate option in the drop down menu & say that it refers to another FY & not current FY,…

Thanks for the detailed response! To clarify, I opted for the annual payout option, not cumulative.

When I raised this concern with the Stable Money team, they advised that while filing my ITR, I should inform my CA to offset the ₹9,000 interest (which I’ll receive next month) against the ₹8,788 extra paid earlier.

From what you’ve explained, it seems that if interest hasn’t been paid yet, it shouldn’t be reflected twice in AIS or TIS. However, I’ll double-check this on the IT portal after the next payout. If there’s a discrepancy, I’ll follow the correction process as you suggested.

Thanks again for clarifying how this works!

Hi @rahul8,

If you’ll be receiving ₹9,000 for this financial year (FY24-25), the bank will deduct TDS on this amount and report the same to ITD.

The remaining interest will be credited in the next FY and hence you’ll be required to report and pay taxes on it in the following year.
