The claim
Senior citizens above 75, reliant on pensions and welfare programs, are exempt from income taxes and IT returns
Original review summary
The review says the government did not exempt people over 75 from paying income tax. It explains that some people aged 75 or older can be exempt from filing a return if they meet specified conditions, including having only pension and interest income from the bank that pays their pension; applicable taxes are deducted by that bank.[S1]
Additional context
On 28 November 2024, the PIB Fact Check Unit clarified that no decision had been made to exempt people over 75 from paying taxes. [S1]
