Since the section 87A was amended by the Finance Act, 2019, to provide full tax rebate to taxpayers earning total income up to Rs. 5 lakh

The CBDT made the consequent amendment in Form 15H used for furnishing declaration for nil deduction of tax in case of senior citizens. Now, rebate u/s 87A shall be allowed while furnishing Form 15H declaration.
