Rebate u/sec. 87A

Hello!

My father is a very senior citizen earning between 10 to 12 lakhs from Dividend and Interest. Learnt that new rebate proposed is not available to them. Can anyone explain the logic for keeping only them out from the category of resident individuals as it's the only income from their hard earned money accumulated over the years.

Thanks in advance

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the Section 87A tax rebate, particularly its availability for senior citizens with income from dividends and interest. While the rebate is generally available for 'income from other sources' under the new tax regime, it appears to be excluded for 'super senior citizens' (over 80). The original poster questions the logic behind this exclusion for individuals relying on their accumulated savings.

Rebate under 87A is available, for income from other sources, Dividend and Interest income are income from other sources, so in my opinion you may get rebate under 87A of the in new tax regime  under the income tax act . 

Take more opinion on this. 

For super senior citizens (above 80 years) it's not available. Wanted to know the logic behind it.

No tax for up to Rs 12.75 lakh income for salaried under new tax regime as Section 87A tax rebate hiked in Budget 2025 - The Economic Times - https://m.economictimes.com/wealth/tax/section-87a-tax-rebate-changes-in-union-budget-2025/articleshow/117735302.cms?utm_source=whatsapp_pwa&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialsharebuttons

 

👆🏻HUFs, NRIs, companies, and super senior citizens cannot claim rebate under section 87A.
