Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the definition of 'super senior citizens' in India, referring to individuals aged 80 and above. It details the tax exemption available to them, stating that income up to ₹5 lakh is tax-free. Higher income brackets are subject to specific tax rates as outlined in the relevant Finance Act.
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
