13 May 2026 Legality: Filing using the deceased's Aadhaar OTP while bypassing the "Legal Heir" registration is illegal and procedurally improper.

Proper Action: Register as a Legal Representative on the portal first, then file and verify the return using your own digital signature or EVC.

Liability: As a legal representative, your liability is limited to the value of the assets inherited from the deceased.
