Sir, Presently persons above 65 years are treated as Sr.Citizens. When retirement age in Govt. is 60 years and 58 years in PSUs the Definition needs to change. After retirement the means of earnings diminish/cease and the needs of old people rise. They need physical help which only becomes available on payment to domestic helps. I hope FM would kindly do something about it

senior citizens and superannuated pensioners should be placed high on FM's agenda while shaping the Budget,to enable them to lead an affordable life with dignity in their twilight years.
