SENIOR CITIZEN ABOVE THE AGE OF 80 YEARS

A senior citizen above the age of 80 years has income from short term capital gains.
Though he is not personally engaged in trading in shares.
But his successors.

Any short term capital gains is subject to tax @ 15%.
so now the senior citizen has to file returns which overrides the announcement in the budget that senior citizen need not file return .

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax obligations for senior citizens over 80 who have short-term capital gains, even if they don't trade shares themselves. Despite budget announcements suggesting seniors may not need to file returns, the 15% tax on short-term capital gains still applies. The Finance Bill 2021 needs presidential approval to become an Act and will be applicable from FY 21-22. Therefore, individuals in this situation will likely need to file returns to correctly reflect their tax liability.

Finance  Bill  2021  not  yet  approved  by  Honorable   President  of   India  Sir  ,  it  is  not  yet  Act ,  only after approval  it will become ACT  and  Notification  form GOVT  and  will  be applicable for  F.Y  21-22  A.Y  22-23   . 

What  is your  F.Y  and A.Y ? 

Obviously I hv mentioned that it overrides the announcement that senior citizen above the age of 80 years need not not file returns . But certainly he has to pay the tax liability.
Returns are filed for correct reflection of tax liability , Tax paid and amount deducted as tds.
