Back Senior citizens' woes

Introducing TDS on Senior Citizen's Savings Scheme will only add the misery of the elderly. Seniors citizens are being attacked by disease, low interest rates, lack of investment opportunities, high drug prices and now the TDS on interest rates. What more? Social security is becoming weaker by the day with such unimaginative policies. The Finance Minister must hear the feeble voice of senior citizens and take immediate remedial actions.
