Hello Members,
Query is regarding transfer of tds deducted on PAN of deceased for income generated post death (interest income etc)
Is there a way to claim this TDS credit by legal hire post return file till date of death?
As only one ITR (till the date of death) is allowed for the deceased, what would be the treatment of TDS deducted on PAN of deceased?

Thanks

Section 194LBA – Certain Income from units of Business Trust. Which head of income is to be admitted 194LBA?

I bought a car in May 2024, and TCS (Tax Collected at Source) was deducted at the time of purchase. However, my PAN and Aadhaar were not linked back then.

I linked my Aadhaar with PAN in June 2025, but the TCS amount is still not showing in my Form 26AS.

Is there a time limit for the TCS to reflect in 26AS after linking Aadhaar? If not, what steps can I take to fix this issue?

Sir in my account,
Intraday equity trading cash (non f&o): loss 265/
Total turnover: 500/ only
STCG from share: 210000/
STCG from debt mutual fund: 25000/
LTCG from mutual fund: 97000/
Savings account interest income: 45000/
Commissions: 3700/ only (YDS deducted u/s 194H)
Since total income above basic exemption limit of 250000/ and loss in intraday equity,I can't opt 44AD as commission is there.

So,books of accounts and audit mandatory for me?
Please help as I'm confused and worried a bit too,
