Elderly individuals in India are guaranteed several rights including the right to **maintenance and care** under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, protection from abuse and neglect, access to healthcare and social security, and the right to live with dignity. They also have the right to reside in old-age homes if needed, and to receive government support and facilities aimed at their welfare and well-being.
