Hi
I would like to have a clarity on tax treatment of interest.
I would like to take the option of buyback after 5 years and interest payment every year @ 7.5%.
Q1: Will I receive an interest payment of 7.5% every year?
Q2: Will this interest add to my income thus increasing taxable income?
Appreciate a response.
Interest is not tax free. Only the investment up to Rs 20,000 is tax free. However, tax on interest is not deducted at source. You will need to include it as other income while filing returns.
i want deep information about the bond and tax deduction system
Hi Vimal
I will provide you a best bond in Infrastructure because in future this sector give best return please read it

Hi,
I wish to enquire about the documents required to deposit in my company to claim 80CCF rebate. What all to be submitted to get the rebate
Hi Pankaj,
Once the infra bonds are allotted a bonds’ certificate will be sent to your registered address. You will need to submit a copy of this certificate to avail tax exemption from your employer.
Some companies will also consider paid receipt (if done offline)
pls. send me the updates for all the infra bonds….which are currently running in the market…
