ABSTRACT: The citizens who have crossed the threshold age of 60 years constitute about 8.5% of India’s total population and are termed as the Senior Citizens. This age is plagued with financial tension for most of the senior citizens. Old age makes people vulnerable to various lifestyle diseases and more susceptible to regular ailments as well. The Indian government does recognize this issue of senior citizens. The reduced income flow also leads to the problem, and thus the government has designed some schemes to cater to their financial problem and help them maintain their financial stability.
