My father died last financial year 2021 . For financial year 2021 i registered my mother as legal heir and filed my fathers income tax return under his PAN.
My question is how to file return for FY 2022 . My father has received fixed deposit interest and dividend into his savings account , under his PAN for FY 2022 . TDS has also been deducted for the same .
Can i just add my fathers income to my mothers income and file under my mother's PAN ?
Can i enter the TDS deducted under my Father's PAN into mothers IT return . if that is not possible how can i show the TDS deducted in my mothers return so that total tax to be paid is less. I read another post here where advice was given to file father's return with no income but with TDS entered in order to get refund , is that advisable ?

As such bank should be inform about the demise of the person, and the FD should be transferred to joint holder/s or nominee. Bank should be requested to transfer the TDS in favor of the joint holder or nominee. Any income earned/accrued after the demise of the person is liable to be assessed in the file of legal heir/s.
Bank was notified and accounts are now closed but that took some time.
Is it mandatory to transfer all TDS to nominee PAN. reason i am asking is my sister who was a nominee for FD (closed now) is not in state and the TDS amount is small .
There are three legal heirs and my mother is registered as the legal heir on income tax website. Can i add all of my fathers income to my mothers and file return without reporting the TDS ?

Yes, declare the FD interest income under your mother's PAN.. You can make settlement between the legal heirs to provide the total bank balance (of your father) to your mother.
