Clubbed returns - deceased father + sole legal heir?

1107 views 2 replies

Father: Died Dec 2010
Total Income in FY 2011-2012: Income from investments (deceased person's estate) - (FD, Mutual funds, Equity shares)
TDS deducted at source, will be claimed back in return ~ INR 20,000
 
Son: Sole Legal Heir
Income in FY 2011-2012: Income from investments (FD, Mutual funds, Equity shares)
TDS deducted at source, will be claimed back in return ~ INR 20,000
 
Question: Is it mandatory to file clubbed returns for FY 2011-2012? Or can I continue to file separate returns (like I did for FY 2010-2011), especially since I need to claim TDS refund for both myself and father?
 
Any other tips/comments will be greatly appreciated.

You can file separate return only for F.Y. 2010-11. from f.y. 2011-12 onward you have to file only your return incuding income generated from the estate of father.

Thank you for your reply. It is what I was suspecting. The reason I wasn't sure is because I could not find it written anywhere. Would you be able to share the referece please? Is this defined in the IT Act?
