I am a male of 60 yrs, resident, having business in Delhi. My estimated total income for FY 2009-10 is 200,000/.I have invested Rs 70,00/= in PPF. Now my taxable income is 200,000- 70000 = 130,000.  Since Rs 130,000 is below the taxable limit of Rs 160,000 this yr ,I want to invest in senior citizen scheme of post office having interest of 9% pa.
Can I give them form 15 G for not deducting TDS on interest.
