Quick Summary
A senior citizen, aged 72, with a taxable income of £593,530 after deductions, is seeking ways to reduce this to below £5 lakh to qualify for the tax rebate under Section 87A. They have already utilised standard deduction, sections 80C, 80D, and 80TTB, and are looking for alternative tax-saving instruments beyond 80G contributions. The discussion aims to identify further deductions or strategies to achieve the desired tax saving.

Sir, I don't know what is your age? And what are the income you earned this financial year.

As per Income tax, Senior citizens above the age of 60 years and below the age of 80 can avail rebate u/s 87A.

If you are NRI or HUF you can't avail this rebate. 

Please let us know your issue exactly, I/we can give you a precise suggestions to you.

🙏 Thanks

Hello Mr. Saravanan, thanks for your immediate reply. I am a Sr. Citizen,Male, 72 years, Resdient, retired from Bank's service. My income comprises of Pension, interest from Bank deposits,  SB interests, Dividend income from Equity shares, and Mutual Fund. After exhausting all deductions, like Std. deduction, deductions u/s 80C,80D,& 80TTB my Taxable income works out to 593530. I can't claim any other deductions, as I don't have any. Of course, I can avail 100% u/s 80G PMNDF; instead of this contributions, any other tax saving instruments so that I am eligible for rebate u/s 87A? Or have I to pay tax only on entire taxable income of 593530?  

What is your gross before all deductions?

Hats off Sir,  I understood that you have tried all the way and done calculation. However, please go through. is it ELSS mutual fund? You will get tax deduction under 80C. And your 80G.
