A widower is seeking assistance to update bank account details for an Income Tax refund due to his late wife. Although he has already been appointed as the legal heir and filed her return last year, the original bank account is now closed. He needs to know the process for changing the bank details to successfully receive the refund into a new account.

Hi

 

first of all, appoint husband as a legal heir in income tax deptt. through the Portal. and than you can file the return as legal representive and get the refund back.   

He filed the return on her behalf last year too .. so he's already appointed as her legal heir and representative.. but I need to know how can I change the account details to claim the refund.. because the account shown was in his wife's name and has been closed now.  So to get the refund I need to update the details of the bank account .
