in our company an employee has come i the category of senior citizen during a FY
& we have provided him a salary which has crossed the basic exemption limit of an indiviual (not a senior citizen one) as per IT act, but duiring the FY the employee has come in the category of senior citizen then its limit exceeds (it becomes senior citizen on 15th march 2010) now we have to deducted tds on him or not,
A person is to be considered a senior citizen for tax purposes if he is of the age of 65 years or more at any time during the previous year.
Since this employee has attained this age limit during the previous year you have to consider the senior citizen limit for TDS
A person is considered as a senior citizen if he has attained the age of 65 years at any time during the previous year. So TDS not deductible.
