Legal heir certificate in mumbai-most urgent

My wife recently passed away and I need to file her I.T.Return for F.Y. 2012-13.I reside in Mumbai.From where can I get the "LEGAL HEIR CERTIFICATE" in Mumbai (only for the limited purpose of filing her returns)?She was not a Government or mill employee.I tried with Mumbai City Collectorate at Old Customs House,Fort with no luck.

Has anybody from this group obtained such a certificate at Mumbai for filing Returns?If so,please help me.Most grateful for your assistance in advance.

Kindly treat this as MOST URGENT.

Sir

 

If u just wants to file ITR of your wife u need to write to the income tax department, regarding succession certificate, in this case u can file yours wife's return by using your digital signature, as legal hire.

WE HAD HANDLE A SIMILAR CASE LIKE YOURS.

 

THANKS 

SHIKHAR

Dear Shikhar,

I.T. Department will give the pernission to file as a legal heir on behalf of a deceased person only on receipt of the following 4 scanned copies :

1) PAN Card copies of deceased person and legal heir

2) Death Certificate

3) Legal Heir Certificate.

While S.Nos. 1 and 2 are not an issue,I am stuck on the Legal Heir Certificate.I am informed by the E-filing cell of the I.T. Department at Bangalore that such a certificate can be obtained from MRO but they are not aware of the location of such an office in Mumbai.If anybody from Mumbai or elsewhere can guide me,I shall be most obliged.Thanks.

sir
