Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a legal heir or nominee can claim the Section 80C deduction for a tax saver Fixed Deposit (FD) made by the deceased. The consensus is that the benefit cannot be claimed by the nominee if the FD is encashed after the financial year of investment. While the deduction might be claimed for the deceased's income in the relevant assessment year, it would likely need to be reversed in the subsequent year due to early withdrawal.

No, legal heir can not get benefit.

Also if FD is encashed in Apr, it is better not to clear it in 80C for Prev FY

See, legal representative wants to take 80C benefit in ITR of deceased. 

You can take benefit in AY 21-22, but you will have to reverse that in AY 22-23, as you have withdrawn the FD
Agree with above comment
WHEN THE FD WAS INVESTED, INTEREST INCOME ACCRUING FROM FD WAS SHOWN IN INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES .
NOW ON MATURITY EITHER THE SUM OF AMOUNT CAN BE RE-INVESTED OR If not credited into respective savings account of the individual account maintained at bank.Now this amount is taxable with respect to increase of the exemption limit as such.
Now the date of maturity is pertaining to the relevant previous year in which it has matured.
