Is additional interest paid on the inflation adjusted principle of Treasury inflation protection bonds and notes?
TIPS are indexed against the Labor Department's consumer price index (CPI). So when CPI - the measure of inflation - rises, the coupon payments of TIPS and the underlying principal automatically increase. When the TIPS bond reaches maturity, the inflation-adjusted principal is returned to investors. If deflation were to occur, the adjustments to the principal would be negative, though a TIPS bond held to maturity will never return less than its original principal. So to answer your question, the principle is adjusted for inflation - not the interest.

Inflation Protection for Bondholders ?
Normally when investors are placing their money in equity investments there is some level of built-in inflation protection. As the cost of producing their merchandise or services goes up, so do the prices that the firms charge. In other words, the increase in the cost of doing business is passed along to the consumers; and therefore the company (or the shareholder thereof) doesn’t suffer. Historically, there was no such protection for investors in fixed-income assets such as bonds. In fact, inflation risk is one of the larger risks assumed by bondholders. Today there is some hope for investors who want to put their money in bonds but also would like the same protection afforded their equity-investing counterparts. This hope comes in the form of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, also known as TIPS. TIPS are bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury that have an inflationary protection component built into them. One of the first things that readers should note about them is that since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government they are generally considered to be among some of the safest investments available. The interest earned on TIPS doesn’t fluctuate. If you buy a bond with a 2% coupon, it won’t rise with inflation. What does rise with inflation is the par value of the bond. It should be noted that when we talk about inflation in this case we’re talking about inflation as measured by the Consumer Pricing Index, or CPI. What this means is that when the CPI rises, the par value of your bonds goes up. When the bond matures or you sell it in the secondary market, you receive more for it than you otherwise would have. By offering you inflation protection for fixed-income assets, the U.S. Treasury has secured a bit of a niche market among fixed-income investors concerned about the erosion of their purchasing power.
