Hello,

 

My father expired in april of current year.Before his demise,He sold an agri land and transferred that amount in my account.

 

I opened capital gains account in my name before due date and filed his ITR claiming capital gains exemption in 54b.His ITR is not processed yet.

 

I did not show the amount in my ITR as it is a transaction between close relatives.My ITR has already been processed with refund credited in my account.

 

Now I came to know that you have to register as legal heir to file ITR of a deceased person.

Will there be a problem in future because I didn't register myself as legal heir.Should I register myself as legal heir and file revised ITR of my father?

 

I filed the ITR in his name and show land sale amount exemption in 54b in his ITR.
