This query concerns filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) for an individual who passed away during the financial year. The core question is whether the ITR should be filed under the deceased's name as an original filing or by the legal heir. The advice given is that since the individual is no longer alive to file it themselves, the legal heir must file the relevant ITR.
I have an issue where the I have to file ITR of the person who has died on 11th September 2025. Now my question is that since the person was alive for the Financial year 2024-25, so should the itr be filed as original person or should the same be filed as by the legal representative.
