Rebate u/sec. 87A


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for the Section 87A tax rebate, particularly for senior citizens and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). While initial confusion arose from news articles, it's confirmed that the rebate is generally available to resident individuals. However, specific categories like HUFs, NRIs, companies, and super senior citizens may not be eligible, especially under the old tax regime. It's advised to await official notifications from the Income Tax Department for definitive guidance.

08 February 2025 Hello!

My father is a very senior citizen earning between 10 to 12 lakhs from Dividend and Interest. Learnt that new rebate proposed is not available to them. Can anyone explain the logic for keeping only them out from the category of resident individuals as it's the only income from their hard earned money accumulated over the years.


Thanks in advance

08 February 2025 As per the budget proposal, there is no such declaration of non-eligibility of the rebate to super senior citizen. Wait for any such notification by ITD.

Moreover, wait for Direct code, which will be applicable from next FY.
