Please refer the first schedule of relevant finance act

In the case of every individual, being a resident in India, who is of the age of eighty years or more at any time during the previous year,—

upto 500000/- tax is NIL
above 5 and upto 10 lakhs tax is 20%
above 10 lakhs tax is 1 lakh + 30%
plus Cess

You have to refer the finance act pertaining to the relevant assessment year . I don't have the current finance act. Hence I'm attaching here the finance act of 2015. there's no difference in the definition of super senior citizens in finance act 2015 and current finance act. Please refer page no 9 of the finance act in respect of your query
