Father expired and wealth left is it taxable to his wife?

Tax queries 539 views 13 replies

Dear All,
Almost a year ago my Husband (retired govt. employee) expired and left a wealth mix of retirement corpus and chunk of money on his various savings accounts.

Most of the wealth has been transfered to me by banks as me & my childrens were nominated by my husband. My question is do i or my childrens need to pay Income tax on wealth which we have received from my late husband? is it considered as income as per income tax laws?

If yes please specify limits if any? will it be taxed as per my or childrens income tax slab?
I am housewife and source of income is now pension.

Second part of question is pension which i get from govt. does it also, considered as income and do i need to pay income tax on same?

Regards,
Pradip Sodha Behalf of Bhavna Rathod.

no need to pay income tax .

You received wealth through your Lt. husband. If such type income cross the exemption limit then it is taxable. In some circumstances it is not taxable.

   

only pension which you are recieving as un accumulated pension is taxable apart from which other amounts you said you recieved are not taxable
if your husband was govt. employee then it apply

 Any income earned after the date of death is taxable in the hands of the legal heir or executor of the deceased's estate.

By section 159, the legal heir or representative is deemed the assessee. As such, s/he will have to pay taxes liable to be paid by the deceased.

 the liability of the legal heir would be limited to the assets of the deceased which are or might come into his possession

no need to pay tax on inheritance.
If any immovable property is inherited then tax liability will accrue at the time of sale of assets.

Family Pension income will be taxable from income from other sources deduction of 1/3 any of pension or rs 15000 is available amount above this Taxable provided it exceeds the basic exemption limit.
