17 July 2018 Hi,

Due to the cardiac arrest my father got expired in April 2017. After his death, I have fulfilled all necessary documents to the banks and closed all his FDs in the bank and transferred the amounts to my accounts.

I am a salaried person and I am paying tax from last 10 years via ITR-1 form.
Dose the above amount considered as my income?
How can I exempt the amount I have received after father's death from my regular income? Do I need to pay whole tax on the transferred amount as well?
Which form and which category from that form I have to choose?

I need to understand the whole thing! So please help.

Thanks...

17 July 2018 You can continue to file ITR 1.
Transferred income is exempt in your hands no need to pay any tax on it.

20 July 2018 Thanks a lot for a quick reply!
One more query, is there any option, clause in the ITR-1 where I can mention this amount [which will be considered as an exemption, due to proper reason].
Because, IT department may raise a query based on the money transferred to my account!

Please suggest!

Thanks,
Pavan
