As per section 57(ii)(a), if uncommuted family pension is being received after the death of employee by any family member,the pension so received would be taxable under the head 'income from other sources'.

least of the following amount shall be exempt-

  1. Rs. 15000 or
  2. 1/3rd of the pension received.

Madam, Pls tell me in this situation Will his wife filled the return as legal hair or filling this return in  her own name? Pls clarify me.

yes sir, she has to fill in her own name where she can avail all the benefit of schedule VIA i.e section 80C TO 80U as well.
