In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the disability condition of senior citizens in India using the Census of India 2011. The levels and patterns of disability rate, and the distribution of disabled population by the type of disability were examined across states as well as gender. Results indicate that irrespective of the age, a considerable proportion of senior citizens have multiple disability, and the levels significantly varies across states. Even though females live longer, males reported relatively higher levels of disability rate.
