❓ Expert Answers on Form 15H
No. Senior citizens (aged 60 years or above) must strictly file Form 15H. Form 15G is meant only for individuals under 60 years of age.
Form 15H only prevents the deduction of tax at source (TDS) by the EPFO. It does not mean your income is tax-exempt. If your total income at the end of the year exceeds taxable limits, you are still liable to pay tax when filing your annual ITR.
