Quick Summary
This discussion outlines the process for filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for a deceased individual and subsequently closing their PAN. Legal heirs must first register as representatives on the income tax portal. If there are any outstanding tax demands, these must be settled by the legal heirs. After ensuring all tax obligations are met, heirs can formally request the closure of the deceased's PAN by submitting an application to the local tax authorities with relevant documents like the death certificate and PAN card.

If there is any legal Order demand pending in the name of deceased assessee then the demand shall be fulfilled by their legal heirs by registering in income tax portal otherwise if there is no demand then the legal heir shall get registered and after payment of tax then the heir might get discontinued for itr filling
Inform by way of a letter to AO about death of person and request to close PAN. AO will check tax demand, assess and pending work.
