Refund for deceased person sent to closed bank account

Hi all, my father passed away last year and my mother filed his IT return as legal heir. His refund has been sent to his bank account that was already closed following his demise. Could someone please advise how to get this money credited to my mother's bank account. Thank you.

Quick Summary
If a tax refund for a deceased individual has been sent to a closed bank account, the legal heir can resolve this by filing a 'Refund reissue request'. This process allows for the validated bank account details of the recipient to be submitted, ensuring the refund is redirected and issued correctly.

File 'Refund reissue request' with the validated bank account.

Refund will be directed as issued
