From 01/04/2019 there's no category such as very senior citizen. The term "very" is omitted. So only senior citizen term is applicable from 01.04.2019

Sir, senior citizen category (Above 80 years) is still there. popularly called very senior citizen or super senior citizen. So senor citizens above 60 but below 80 and senior citizens above 80 yrs. No changes in these.

Sir My query is not about the classification of assessee. My point is whether an amount spent on medical expenses during the year is allowed under section 80D who is not a member of any medical insurance scheme. If allowed what is the amount permissible..
