Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the login process for registering as a Representative Assessee for a deceased individual. It explains that you should log in using the deceased person's e-filing ID and password, not your own. The process involves obtaining approval from the ITD by registering as a legal representative first, then logging in with the legal heir's credentials to file the return. You'll need to upload the deceased's PAN card, death certificate, and legal heir certificate.

In order to register as a representative assessee on a behalf of deceased, you need to log in using deceased person account details not the representative account. Ensure that u have the necessary authority and relevant information for the registration process
