According to the new TDS limit for senior citizens, if an elderly person earns up to 14 lakh as interest on the fixed deposit or investments, then there will be no TDS deductions for it. This will help the senior citizens earn more and get many benefits from it. Mainly, the retired person gets the maximum benefits who depends on the interest income for their monthly expenses.
