After payment of all installments a plot was allotted to him vide allotment letter but Trust failed to give possession to my client even after 5 years of allotment. My client filed suit against trust and court ordered refund of full amount with interest. full Amount along with Interest @ 12% for 7 years is refunded in Financial Year 2022-23. whether it will be taxed under Income from other sources and Can any relief be taken against interest income? whether it can be taxed as compensation and deduction be claimed against it of 50%.
