Tax liability of deceased father

This query is : Resolved 
Quick Summary
When a father gifts land to his son and passes away shortly after, the IT department may issue tax notices. While the gifted land itself isn't considered inherited and can't be seized for the father's tax, his legal heirs are responsible for settling any outstanding tax liabilities. If heirs received no assets from the father's estate, their liability is generally limited, especially if the father's only asset was the gifted land.
