In Efiling Dashboard, you will find a pop down box showing logged in as 'Self', click it and it will show Legal Representative option, click it and it will take you to portal of the deceased, and you can file returns as you normally do

Thanks Priyanka for your quick help, it worked

BTW, ITD should have included this basic information in the approval email itself

Govt working will always be Govt, they never think of citizens
