Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 194P of the Income Tax Act, 1961, regarding tax benefits for senior citizens. It confirms that a senior citizen can claim the Section 194P benefit even if their pension is received in one specified bank branch and their interest income is from a different branch of the same bank, provided the bank operates under a core banking system. The key criteria for eligibility, including age and income type, are outlined.

IF THE OTHER BRANCH IS ALSO CONNECTED UNDER CORE BANKING SYSTEM, IT SHOULD ACCEPT THE APPLICATION.

Yes. He can claim since the bank is same but barnch is different

Extract from section 194P for definition of specified person is as below.

  (i)  who is of the age of seventy-five years or more at any time during the previous year;
