Not viable

Sir, — Senior citizens feeling disturbed by the proposed taxes, I am sure, must have felt extremely happy on reading the editorial "No savings for senior citizens" (March 22). As it rightly points out, saving to reduce tax liability is hardly a viable option for senior citizens.

Sir, — Enhancing investment limits for benefits is no consolation, for the old have neither the money nor the need to save. In fact, pensioners would be happy if their income from pension is declared tax-free.

V.V.B. Rama Rao,
