The Main relief to individual taxpayers is Rebate u/s 87A of Income Tax Act which increased the limit of rebate from Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 12,500 w.e.f. F.Y. 2019-20 for individual on total income upto Rs. 5 Lakh Per Annum. (AY 2020-2021)

Slabs have remained unchanged for FY 2019-20 and AY 2020-21 for all citizens (including Senior Citizens).

Standard Deduction for salaried taxpayers has been increased from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000.

Education Cess on Income Tax has remained same at 4%.

1) For a senior citizen with an income of say Rs 549000, sec 80TTB Rs 50000 rebate on bank FD interest can be applied?{ to bring down income below 5 lakhs to be eligible for 87A rebate of no tax till 5 lakhs}(Note : FD interest income is the major source of total income& is above 50k to be eligible)

2) If a senior citizen income is say around Rs 6,60,000 & full investment in 80C deduction (in 5yrs tax deposit or 5yrs SCSS deposit) of Rs 1.5 lakhs) + applying 80ttb deduction of 50k in interest income brings the income to say 510000, then 87A rebate is not eligible?

what I mean Does the net income has to fall below 500000 to be eligible for 87A rebate?
