LTCG TAX LIABILITY OF DECEASED PERSON

Tax queries 359 views 10 replies

Say, a person successfully lodges mutual funds’ (equity) redemption request on 15-January-2024 at 8:00 am. This person dies on the same day at 11:00 am. The redemption amount is credited to the bank account of this person (his wife is the joint holder in this bank account) on 16-January-2024. Capital gain statement is showing that date of redemption is 15-January-2024. In this scenario, who is liable to pay tax on capital gains, the deceased person (by Legal Heir) or the surviving wife?

To be transferred to his immediate legal heirs.
The deceased person is liable to pay tax as request was made when he was alive

Thanks a lot Madam for your valuable response.

Welcome 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Legally, the capital gains would be attributed to the deceased person for tax purposes. The surviving wife, as the joint holder of the bank account where the redemption amount was credited, may have access to the funds, but the tax liability remains with the deceased person's estate.                                                    scratch geometry dash

The Legal Heirs

 

Thank you very much for the explanation!

Thanks a lot for your response.

Welcome Sir
The return of the deceased person is required to be filed by appointing a legal heir, it depends who is the first holder of the bank account.
