24 March 2015 If, an individual completes his 60th year, in financial year 2014-2015(in December-2014), then :

Que. 1: Can he avail the benifit of being senior citizen for financial year 2014-2015 ?

QUE.2: What will be the exemption limit for him , for financial year 2014-2015?

QUE.3: IF, his total income -tax payable is more than 10,000 for financial year 2014-2015 , then will he have to pay it as Advance tax ?
Because senior citizen is not required to pay advance tax. But , as he has attained 60 years of age in current financial year itself, can he avail such beifit of not paying advance tax ?

Que.4: IF, he has not paid any installments of 15th september, or 15th december, or 15th March, then what should he do , to face less problems in future about his I.Tax matters?
