Short Term Capital Gain Tax in case of Senior Citizens

Senior citizens upto 5 lakhs exempted

In my opinion the short term gain of shares will be taxable under action 111A of Income Tax Act under the head of capital gain

As per section 111A the short-term
capital gain shall be reduced by the unexhausted basic
exemption limit and the balance shall be taxed at 15%.

for senior citizens The basic Exemption limit is Rs. 5 Lakhs hence the total income of the senior citizen which toy are Talking about will be STCG of Rs. 1.5Lakhs + Interest income of Rs. 1 Lakhs Total will be 2.5lakhs hence No taxability will arrise

I hv not purposely gone into such intricate details, let the querist post values. I am aware of the section

The values posted above is true and has no other income than stcg and Fixed deposit interest. The age of the assessee is 68 yrs. so want to know exact exemption limit and also if coming under tax liability how can we claim an exemption.
