B. The increment in value of a bond or other obligation for the payment of money payable at a future time in accordance with a fixed schedule of appreciation in excess of the price at which it was issued is income. The increment in value is distributable at the time provided in R.S. 9:1841 through 9:1847, R.S. 9:1891 through 9:1906, and R.S. 9:1961 through 9:1965, from the first principal cash available to the beneficiary who was the income beneficiary at the time of increment.
