PAN AND AADHAAR LINKING of deceased

This discussion addresses the process of filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) for a deceased individual who hadn't linked their PAN and Aadhaar. It clarifies that for the upcoming Assessment Year 2023-24, the ITR should be filed using the deceased's PAN, with the legal heir acting as the verifier. Since the deceased's Aadhaar is disabled, the legal heir will need to use the 'representative assessee' option by creating a separate ID.
