Quick Summary

A legal heir has filed an online Income Tax return for their deceased father after registering as a representative. However, the tax department is not accepting the legal heir's bank account for the refund, as it lacks a reference to the deceased's PAN. The recommended solution is to submit a written application to the Jurisdictional Income Tax Officer (ITO) to change the bank mandate for the refund reissue.
