Dear vijay, Normal FD? - That would have been one of court / IT tribunal ruling. Kindly do not go by the judgement. It is advisable to stick to general rules. Advisable to save the proceeds in CGAS scheme. The deposits may be made in one lump sum or in installments at any time. The amount should be deposited before the due date for filing income tax returns.  Related articles :
