Quick Summary
If you're a legal heir filing an income tax return for a deceased person and are awaiting a refund, you may need to update the bank account details. While you cannot directly use your own bank account for the refund, you can potentially change the existing account details to another account belonging to the deceased. The process involves pre-validating the bank account through the deceased's e-filing login. If you encounter issues with pre-validation or updating details via your legal heir login, you may need to log in directly using your father's credentials.
