Please provide AD Service Accounts requirement in Citrix 7.15 production deployment.
i.e for which Services we need SA accounts? And what permissions required?
MCS
PVS
Please provide required SA details for both.

Are you using PVS or MCS? They will need account details to talk to the hypervisor and have permissions to power up machines, deploy machines, etc.

you will also need accounts that can set up the SQL database when you do the install, although these permissions are on the SQL end.

For specific Citrix services, you can reference this https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/xenapp-6-5/xenapp65-w2k8-wrapper/xenapp65-admin-wrapper/ps-securing-wrapper-v2/ps-services-overview.html
Although my apologies, that is for XA 6.5, let me see if there is one for 7.x :-)

For a new XAXD 7.15 LTSR CU2 MCS or PVS implementation, Windows Active Directory Service Accounts are one of the prerequisites.
MS SQL 2016 required one Service Account for SQL server Agent and SQL Server Database Engine Services.
Citrix DDC required one Service Account for Broker Service.

Apart from above two scenarios, for which Services we need Service Accounts?
Most likely none, as you can see from the link
