Respected Sir / Madam,
It is a good article you have written with respect to Form No. 15 G to be submitted by SENIOR CITIZENS and I am sure the same will benefit many. Only crucial point is that the Form No. 15 H as quoted by you in the article says that "Income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act". This obviously means that the Income arrived at after reducing the amounts of deductions available Under Chapter VI A of the Act.
But, simultaneously, the article also quotes in the same Form No. 15 H that " and the interest paid or payable to you does not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to tax.". Here lies the contradiction. A person may have Interest on deposits amounting to Rs.5,00,000 and is entitled deduction Under Sec 80C of Rs.1,50,000, Under Sec 80 D of Rs.30,000 and Under Sec 80 TTB of Rs.50,000.
Under such circumstances, the Senior Citizen is not liable to pay Income-tax and the Bank has to accept the Form No. 15 G even though the interest component is Rs.5,00,000. Can you please be kind enough to clarify on this point.
With regards, Jagadeesh Bharadwaj.

Dear Jagadeesh,
The 'interest income' clause is applicable for Form 15G submission only and not for Form 15H.
