Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process for registering a representative assessee when the primary taxpayer has passed away. It addresses confusion regarding which login credentials to use on the e-filing portal – the deceased's or the representative's. The consensus suggests using the representative's own e-filing profile for this registration.
