Advance tax - issue letters from ito

In past one month, 2 senior citizens have received Advance Tax-Issue letter from their ITO by email, asking them to pay advance tax for Ay 19-20.

As you know Senior citizens without business income are not required to pay advance tax. They have been paying full tax on self assessment in past years, and were not charged any interest.

So why these issue letters are coming now ?? Is the law changed for senior citizens advance tax? Is anyone else facing this problem with their clients?

Resident senior citizens are not required to pay advance tax if they do not have income from business or profession
concur with ms/mrs. aradhana
yes I do but may be software bug. it happens in many cases. whether they check ur date of birth or not us mystery...

So what to do next? How to respond to such letters?

Can ITO issue a notice to Senior Citizen to pay advance tax if he is not required to do so?

ignoring letters or communication from ito is not a good practice.
seniors in profession can advice.
