• Tax on term deposit interest

I want take loan against term deposit for a short period. Interest payable on such loan 1% above rate of interest paid to me. My question is whether this amount of interest on loan paid by me can be be deducted from the interest on term deposit received by me during that particular financial year. 
e.g Interest received is 1,00,000/- during the financial year & interest paid on loan is 10,000/-
So, whether I will have to pay tax on 1,00,000/- or 90,000/-
