15 March 2012 Your father Has to file your Grand Mother's return as representative assessee. Lic Pension Plan amount is not taxable it is exempted. And the loans and advances from your grand mother to your father would be treat as gift and the balance amount transfer to your father's capital account. Actually the liability of the loans taken from decased assessee's should be pay their legal heirs if legal heirs not available then such liability would be income from other sources for that year. But in you case your father will be the legal heirs and the relation ship between the lendor and lendee is mother and son so that way i suggest you treat as gift. However please wait for some other experts suggestions.
