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.

It is right that all senior citizens are not retired. The income tax depends on income. The tax should be based on income and not age of the assessee. If a senior citizen earns less, he will be taxed less based on low income. There appears no reason why a young person should pay tax more on same income. Moreover, junior citizens have more family liability than a senior. In fact, younger ones need financial help and the seniors more respect and comforts.

yes of course...
Also, it should be noted that once a Senior citizen (if an employee) is retired, his income falls considerably and at most occasions, will come under tax benefit section. Am I not right?

If income falls, tax also falls and is zero if this is below Rs. two lakh. This is 2.5 lakh fr senior citizen 60 years to 80 years. Hence there appears no need to give concession to senior citizen in tax. If some senior citizens are fit to fun business or get employment, there is no reason why they not be taxed like others.

yes, absolutely!

I have seen many retired persons doing some real estate or other businesses. But, they are not seen giving tax. But a regular employee (if private) has to give 33% to Government in the form of tax. Isn't it?

But for those old persons who are poor and not retired ones, many considerations can be given to them....(like concessions in railways(already given), special queues, also...some railway tickets can also reserved for old persons, in case of an emergency). Am I right?

A senior officer still comes under the net of IT even after his retirement. most times they are getting lo more pensions than they earned their last salary, 20 years after their retirement.
