Let's say a person named DEADMAN dies at the start of the fiscal year and has TDS of Rs. 100. Person HEIR is the legal heir of DEADMAN and claims the income and TS in HEIR's tax return while also paying the entire tax himself. At the same time, DEADMAN's tax return offers the income and TDS to the HEIR's PAN number in the deceased's tax return.
Who gets the Rs. 100 TDS credit and refund in their tax return? DEADMAN (the deceased who originally paid the TDS and offered it to the legal heir) or HEIR (who paid taxes on the amount and claimed the TDS in his tax return).

If he had filed the decease's return through his own efiling account as legal representative, he should have chosen his own account for refund.
