Income tax refund failure in case of legal heir

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An NRI legal heir filed an Income Tax Return (ITR) for a deceased NRI assessee and is due a refund. However, multiple attempts to reissue the refund have failed with reason 155, citing incorrect bank details. Despite the legal heir's NRO bank account being prevalidated, the issue persists. Raising grievances on the income tax portal has led to unhelpful responses, directing the user to retry the failed reissue process or contact the CPC helpline, which has also proven ineffective.

20 October 2023 After the death of the NRI assessee, ITR has been filed through legal heir(also NRI) for A.Y. 2022-23 with refund due. The refund reissue request has failed several times with reason 155. The NRO bank account selected for refund belongs to the legal heir and it is prevalidated. Please suggest on resolving the issue.
