Senior Citizens of the country and their acute problems.

A person who attains the age of sixty years is treated as a senior citizen.From a recent  account it was noticed that the number of central govt.employees are fifty five lakhs while the central. Govt. Pensioners are  fifty eight lakhs.From the above it would be evident that there is a huge number of senior citizens present in our country.

Let us See the position of Senior citizens. Most of them suffer from various diseases and very frequently they need to go to doctors and to get various pathological tests. Apart from physical sufferings they are to incur huge amount of expenditure on account of medical ground .Secondly at present most of the families being very small the senior citizens do not get any physical support in case of illness . As a result ,a large section is required to do everything. In most of the cases they are to discharge all duties of Bank.

Those who are pension holders are liable to meet all the formalities as and when required. Apart from these most of them are required  to deposit electric bills and Municipality tax bills etc.

Another most of the critical area is payment of income tax.Lot of works are being done for the payment of income tax . Apart from these , endless jobs are being done.

From the above it will be appreciated that the major section of the senior citizens of the country have to discharge a lot of responsibilities within family and outside the family despite physical and mental weakness. Besides those who are pension holders contribute to their families financially and a large number of retired persons though are not pension holders but earn
substantially on account of interest on Fixed deposit etc and they also contribute to their families and in no way a large  section of the senior citizens are the liabilities of their families.
