Please Help: Income Tax Return in case of deceased assessee
Posted Date : 19-Nov-2015 , 03:05:27 pm | Posted By Surbhi Goyal
I got a notice to file an ITR for my assessee but my assessee is no more, in such a case who will be able to sign his return? Do we get any exemption from filing the return, if yes what is the procedure???

In this case you have to file the ITR of the deceased person as a legal heir/ representative assessee and in this case PAN of the legal heir will be used for verification of ITR.If there is a refund or total income is above 5 lacs then you have to file ITR on line otherwise you may file paper return.
