My father expired in 2018. He was holding some deposits which have still not matured. TDS is being deducted from interest of these deposits which is seen in 26AS of my father. If possible, I want to continue the deposits till maturity (2023), as the interest rate is high. My querries are - 1) As I am legal heir, can I include this interest in my income and pay tax on it ? 2) Do I have to file my father's return ? If yes, can I get refund of TDS ? 3) Can I continue the deposits till marurity (2023) and show the interest as my income ? Can I file my father's returns upto 2023 ? Thanks
