Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the complexities of filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) for a deceased client. The primary concern is how to handle income earned during the period of the client's life and subsequently by their legal heirs. The advice suggests that the legal heir, in this case, the daughter, should file the ITR using the deceased's PAN up to the date of death. Any income earned by the heir after the deceased's passing should be declared in the heir's own ITR.

Deceased PAN should be used for ITR Filing till death & you may add legal heirs for verification of ITR

After death & till end of FY, income will be taxable in the hands of legal heirs
