The reply of Mr. OD sharma seems to be logical. Though for the income of your deceased uncle, your cousins are responsible for filing ITR in the proportinate share.

One amongst the cousins by consensus mostly the eldest of them can file a return as legal representative of the deceased. They can also file an affidavit that th income belonged to their late father and the income is returned by he legal heir in a fiduciary capacity. This is because section 199 of the Act lays down that credit for the TDS would be extended only in the hands of he person in whose name it is assessed.There after by virtue of the succession Act hey can all share the remainder equally or according to their understanding, which is not questionable, if there is understanding amongst them.

company sould issue TDS certificate in the name of cousin because it is income in his hand and uncle is no more. cheque is issued correct TDS Certificate should be corrected.
