Claiming of income tax refund of deceased

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If a legal heir has filed an income tax return for a deceased individual but used a closed bank account for the refund, the payment will likely fail. The recommended course of action is to file a revised return. This revised return should include the bank account details of the legal representative to ensure the refund can be successfully processed and received.

17 September 2025 sir, after due approval, legal heir successfully filed ITR of her deceased husband giving savings bank account number of deceased which was inadvertantly already closed by them. It is quite imminent that said refund is going to be failure as no bank account exists. In such cases what course is available to legal heir to receive the due amount of refund. pl advice.
