Tax return for senior citizen

Hi TaxGuru,
I have to file IT return for this year.  Below is my details:-
- I am salaried individual
- DOB is 07-03-1952, and accordingly I will attained age of 60 years on 07-03-2012.
- Will retire on 31st March,2012.
-Income from Salary is 6 L for current FY.
-Income received from arrears ( Due to implementation of 6th Pay commission) is 2.2L.

Please suggest whether I will get the benefit of senior citizen i.e. tax exemption of 2.5L in stead of 1.8L? How the tax will be calculated in the above scenario?

Thanks
Kaushal
