21 February 2025 One of my GST client had expired during Feb.2025. Can his assistants/relatives file his pending GST returns ? Because many pending transactions (Sales) are to be executed at all cost.

21 February 2025 Suppose the proprietor died on 05th Feb. Now as per the situation, question arises. Who will file GSTR 1 and GSTr3B of Jan 25. And GSTR1 and GSTR3B of feb25 (upto 05th feb). In this case, legal heir has to register himself as Legal representative for attaching his DSC or aadhar-otp verification. Please make a written submission to jurisdictional officer along with Legal heir certificate and Death certificate to add you as an authorized signatory. Also, raise a query to Grievance portal. In case, Legal heir certificate takes considerable time in your city. Discuss the same with the Jurisdictional officer.
