Senior Citizen Income Tax Slabs (New Regime 2026)

New Tax Regime mein senior citizens ko bhi same slabs apply hote hain jaise normal taxpayers ko, lekin Section 87A rebate unhe zero tax tak pahuncha sakta hai।

Section 87A Rebate

Senior citizens jinka total income ₹7 lakh se kam hai, unhe ₹25,000 tak rebate mil sakta hai (New Regime mein) jo unki tax liability ko zero kar sakta hai।

Practical Calculation Example

Case: Senior Citizen ko pension income ₹6,00,000 + Bank FD Interest ₹1,50,000 = Total Income ₹7,50,000

Step 1: Gross Total Income

₹7,50,000

Step 2: Deductions

Standard Deduction: ₹75,000 (New Regime)

Step 3: Taxable Income

₹6,75,000

Step 4: Tax Calculation + Rebate

Tax before rebate: ≈ ₹22,500 Section 87A Rebate: ₹22,500 Final Tax Payable: ₹0

Result: Sahi planning se senior citizen ka tax liability zero ho sakta hai।

Old Regime vs New Regime for Senior Citizens

  • Old Regime: Higher exemption limit + 80C, 80D, Home Loan etc. deductions
  • New Regime: Lower slabs + Section 87A rebate (₹25,000 tak)
