Interest Accrued on PPF-Exempt Income

[Shan S]

Where to input Interest Accrued on PPF under exempt income. There seems to be no Other option in ITR 4 EI schedule.

If selected Sukana Samridi and Statutory 10(11) PF income received, is it correct?? as it is only accrued and not received. Can it be left out without reporting? or should it be reported?

[Ryan Vaz]

Yes, interest accrued/credited to your PPF account during the financial year should be reported in ITR-4 under the specific head for Section 10(11) in Schedule EI. Selecting the option related to "Sukanya Samriddhi and Statutory 10(11) PF income" is the correct approach, as it covers PPF interest. It should not be left out.
