Income tax query, plz help..

Go green (ICAI) (666 Points)

19 March 2012  

Mr. X expired on Jan. 1, 2012 when his age was 79 years, 11 months and 20 days. So had he been alive, he would have turned 80 years in the previous year 2011-12.

 

So can anyone please clarify as whether Mr. X can be considered as a Super Senior Citizen and his representative can claim exemption till Rs. 5 lacs?

 

Please provide the relevant case law, if possible.
