Your status as at the end of the Financial year is to be examined and if you are major then income to be assessed separetly.

where in income tax act it is quoted that we have to see the status as on the end of FY

For defining a senior citizen, the words used are "an individual who attains the age of 60 years at any time during a financial year".. so the same should apply to a minor attaining majority too.

But the AO is of the other opinion. He is not satisfied because nowhere in law or rules it is written for minor.
