  4. I would like to be clarified whether a senior citizen who does’t have any income from business is exempted from paying penalty(Interest @ 1% pm) even if the tax due is paid after 31st March but before 31st july i.e before due date for filing of Tax return?

    • I think you are right. Senior citizens who do not have any business income need not pay advance tax irrespective whether TDS is deducted or not. However they should pay the same by 31st July to avoid paying interest for default.
