Sir, In case of cheque received (in the form of outstanding amount) in name of deceased person, can it be deposited in active joint account of the person and his wife?? And also are there any tax liabilities to be paid on that amount received by the deceased person's wife?

You have look into the aspect of how the cheque has been received is it out of current sales then yes the tax is to be paid but if it is out of sales made and is representing Sundry Debtors then this income has already been taxed and considered and no further tax is payable as the amount is appearing in Sundry Debtors
