Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report income earned by a deceased individual after their passing. Income up to the date of death is reported on the deceased's final tax return. However, interest and other income accruing after death belong to the estate. This income should typically be added to the heir's own income, unless an executor is managing the estate, in which case it may be assessed separately.

i mean like say  i have interest of 10000 and deceased has income form savings interest as 5000 then do i show in my itr interest from savings as 10000 or 15000 and if i have to show as 10000 then the where do i show the 5000 of the deceased?

Income up to the date of death goes in the deceased's own return filed by the legal heir under Sec 159; interest accruing after death belongs to the estate and, once the heirs succeed to the deposit, each heir shows his share as ordinary interest in his own return (add it to your interest), unless an executor administers the estate, which is then assessed separately under Sec 168.
