30 July 2014 Please ensure that the PAN entered in the Verification section of the Income Tax Return of Legal heir PAN and not of the deceased person. Also, if the Income Tax Return is being digitally signed, the PAN encrypted in the DSC must match with the PAN mentioned in the verification section

24 July 2024 If you are filing an income tax return for a deceased individual where their son is signing as a representative, here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue with the PAN validation error:

1. **Verify PAN Details**: Double-check the PAN details entered in the personal/verification section of the income tax return. Ensure that the PAN number entered matches exactly with the PAN of the deceased individual or the representative (son, in this case).

2. **Correct PAN**: If there is a discrepancy or typo in the PAN entered, correct it to match the exact PAN of the deceased individual or the representative.

3. **Legal Representative PAN**: Ensure that the son's PAN entered as the representative is valid and correctly entered. The PAN details must match those registered with the Income Tax Department.

4. **Use Correct Form**: Use the appropriate form for filing the return as per the status of the deceased individual. For instance, if the deceased was an individual, you would use ITR-2 for filing the return.

5. **Declaration Format**: Ensure that the son is correctly identified as the representative assessee and that the declaration is in the correct format as required by the Income Tax Department.

6. **Consult a Tax Professional**: If the issue persists despite entering correct details, consider consulting a tax professional or contacting the Income Tax Department helpline for assistance.

7. **Submit XML File**: After making necessary corrections, regenerate the XML file for submission. Ensure all fields are correctly filled, especially the PAN details in the personal/verification section.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PAN validation error and successfully file the income tax return for the deceased individual with their son as the representative.
