I am legal heir of my husband and after his death I had filed his ITR as representative assesse. I have got an intimation with refund for AY 25-26 but the same could not be credited to account as the account given for refund was of my deceased husband and account has been closed. How can I apply for reissue of refund with my saving account details?
