Income tax rates for senior citizen

Asseesee is senior citizen (75 years). He have interest & pension incomes. His net income is ₹ 5,01,064. As per income tax rates (AY 2020-21) his tax liability is ₹ 10,620
Thats why he is not eligible to claim Rebate U/s 87A because his net income exceeded ₹ 5 lakhs.
Now my query is asseesee have any option to claim both rebate U/s 87A & tax payable on balance amount at 20% rate.
Please clarify my doubt.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies income tax rules for senior citizens, specifically regarding tax liability and rebate eligibility for AY 2020-21. It explains that the rebate under Section 87A is only applicable if net income does not exceed ₹5 lakhs. The thread also touches upon potential deductions under Section 80D for medical check-ups and expenses, and Section 80TTB for interest income, which could help reduce the overall tax payable.

No.
You can claim rebate u/s 87A of Income Tax Act, 1961 only if net income is not more than Rs. 5 lakhs.
Is it any alternative treatment to reduce tax in this case
5000 in preventive medical check up expenditure in 80D. Or expenses incurred on medical expenses in 80D
Did you deduct as per 80TTB
For claiming preventive health checkup any documents or evidence needed
Upto cash 5000 exempted
moreover I think in a year he might did his regular check up and have buy medicine so no problem if you claim that much amount in ITR more than that need evidence
