Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that if an assessee passes away with a capital gains tax liability, their legal heir is responsible for filing the return and settling the tax. The legal heir can also invest the capital gains consideration by March 31st to minimise the tax burden under the capital gains scheme.

Yes, legal heir is required to file his return and discharge tax liability, if any.

Thanks
