Incorrectly filed return for deceased father

Tax queries 203 views 2 replies

Hello this is my first post. My father passed away on 20/06/2020. He was a pensioner and was efiling income tax return every year. After his death, I registered as legal heir on the IT portal and efiled his return for FY 2019-20 as his representative assessed (legal heir). I think that was a mistake because it appears I should have filed the last return (for the period 01/04/2020 to 20/06/2020) as representative assess and not for FY 2019-20. Now, the IT portal does not offer me the option of filing as representative assessee.

My father has pension of about 4 lakh from 01/04/2020 to 20/06/2020. I cannot file on his behalf and I cannot club this income with my own because it is pre-death. What do I do? Will be grateful for any guidance.

As per my view
your father demised on 20/6/2020
so ,
return for 1/4/2019 to 31/3/2020 has to be filed
next,
for period 1/4/2020 to 31/3/2021 has to be filed
Since your father demised on 20/6/2020,
it will be legal heir, who will file

You will be filing 2 years return as legal hier after your fathers demise, i.e. for FY 2019-20 & next year FY 20-21.
