A 65-year-old senior citizen with a total income of Rs 18.2 lakh under the new tax regime is seeking to submit Form 15G to avoid TDS on their deposit interest. Despite the new tax regime's higher basic exemption limit, the response indicates that submitting Form 15G may not be permissible under current rules, even with significant interest income.
