Disappointing budget for senior citizens. Senior citizens have only one source of income, i.e. interest on Bank FDs. Earlier high interest rate gave them higher income, but these have reduced substantially & LIC policy now announced also carries lower interest. Further 2.5 years ago many items didn't attract Service Tax like "MEDICLAIM INSURANCE", but now even medical insurance is heavily taxed ( ST ).

If possible, government may be permitted to assist government staff on monthly paid basis. more
