Do you think elderly people need more in next budget?
in Q n A - Find answers to your questions
Most of the elderly people have no one to look after their problems, do you think we need more facilities to look after their needs which they face. They need more old-age homes, health facilities and moral boosting activities? I am sure our government can do some thing for them, who have done so much for the society in their younger days.

    I once read about what Gandhiji quoted about old age homes....."If I can, I will stop all old age homes in our country" :)

    Yes, it is the duty of everyone to protect their parents in the old age. If so, why a special amount be spared in the budget for senior citizens?

    I think more than budget, many services can be done to old people....i.e. more consideration/special queues given to them in every public place or organizations in India.
    Railways provide concession to tickets for people above 60.

    In GandhiJi's time things used to be entirely different. now people have one or two kids who go away to distant places leaving parents alone. This parents who suffer most while staying alone with no one to take care. Our country is fast adapting to western culture in this department as well.

    old age homes, health facilities and more convenience in banks, railway, transport are necessary for senior citizens. They need more physical comforts and respect. There is no need however for any concession in fare and taxation as given now.

    Sunil Government will definately do for the senior citizens but the main problem lies in the mind of youngsters. People don't want to take responsibility of their parents because they are old and dependent on their kids. Many people kill them to get rid of their responsibilities.

    It's not different Sunil. Actually, at that time most people don't have money or food to eat. But now, standard of living has very much increased. Kids are flying abroad leaving their parents at home. Why can't they arrange better facilities for parents and assure their safety before leaving? Everyone has a feeling that I had money and it is convenient to leave them in an old age home by giving some money to the institution.
    It is better illustrated in the film 'Lage raho Munnabhai'.
    I think what Gandhiji told is absolutely correct and it is most fitted in present situations than 60 years back. This is my personal opinion :)

    This is not that they are not doing this. But all are not that responsible and as I can see many people suffering even getting killed by thier own wards for the sake of money. Elder people need more social security.

    You quoted a really nice point. Yes...."Elder people need more social security."

    Some days before,an incident...... an old man give his home to his son. But after some days, his son threw him away. But that old man didn't lose his heart and he fight back, giving a case and got his home. This time he threw his son out of home :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Elder people get many concession in tax though their income is less than a regular employee. So regular employee should get more rebate in tax.In other facilities OK.

    Income tax should be based only on income and not on age or gender basis. The market prices are same for all and so tax should be same for same income.

    Senior citizens are only physically and not financially weak. In fact, the tax concession goes to rich senior citizens only. A rich senior citizen needs no concession in rail fare. Hence, senior citizens need respect and physical facilities like separate queue in banks, railways etc. and more comforts in journeys. The helpless and poor need old age pension.

    I think senior citizen get all those benefits as after a certain age the no more earn a regular income but depend either on their savings or children. Don't think all senior citizens are retired government employs who earn a good income even after retirement.
