Say, a person successfully lodges mutual funds’ (equity) redemption request on 15-January-2024 at 8:00 am. This person dies on the same day at 11:00 am. The redemption amount is credited to the bank account of this person (his wife is the joint holder in this bank account) on 16-January-2024. Capital gain statement is showing that date of redemption is 15-January-2024. In this scenario, who is liable to pay tax on capital gains, the deceased person (by Legal Heir) or the surviving wife?
