Rebate under 87A

Dear Experts,

I am a senior citizen and I understand I can get up to Rs. 12,500/- rebate in tax payable, under Sec 87A, if my total income is less than Rs. 5 lacs.

Does the total income include the STCG and LTCG? For instance, my OS income is Rs. 4 lacs and my STCG + LTCG = 1.25 lacs.  Do I qualify for the Rebate u/s 87A?

Appreciate your kind expert advise.

Regards,

Ram
