Uncontrolled, all-round inflation has hit senior citizens the most. Hence, the finance minister is requested to gift senior citizens income-tax exemption up to `. 5 lakh a year. Secondly, the cost of anti-asthma inhalers has increased unbearably in the last three years. The price of such inhalers should be reduced to half in the Budget. Finally , the medical insurance companies have doubled their premium recoverable from senior citizens in the current year as if all citizens are going to be hospitalised simultaneously as soon as they turn 60. This should be stopped with retrospective effect.
