Last date for paying tax without penalties/interest for senior citizens

For senior citizens with no income from business or profession, I understand that advance tax installments (15Jun, 15Sep, 15Dec, 15Mar) are not required to be paid. But if there is additional tax to be paid beyond the TDS, what is the last date for making the remaining tax payment so that there are no penalties or interest on account of delay in payment?
Is the tax required to be paid in full by 31-March or can it be paid before filing the tax returns by 31-July without any penalties / interest?
Question is for the current AY (2024-25). Thanks

Quick Summary
For senior citizens without business income, advance tax payments aren't mandatory. If you have additional tax due beyond TDS, you can pay it when filing your income tax return by 31st July without incurring penalties or interest. This means you don't need to settle the full amount by 31st March.

Yes you can make the payments when filing the income Tax returns. If it is a salary income then the company has liability to deduct & pay tds. 

Thanks to your timely response.
I was about to make the tax payment on 31-March but now I have deferred it till I am ready to file my returns in July.
