Hi All,

This is regarding filing of ITR of a deceased assesse.
We have taken the approval from deptt of legal heir for filing the return as representative assesse.

Problem is there is a refund of the deceased person and all the bank accounts of the deceased have been closed.

The bank details of the representative assesse are not coming in the deceased ITR efiling.

However IT deptt asked for the bank details of the representative at the time of taking approval as representative.

How to file the return of deceased as no pre validated bank account is available for refund processing.

Kindly suggest!!

regards

CA Manish Goel

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of processing tax refunds for a deceased individual when their bank accounts are closed. The representative assessee's bank details are not appearing correctly on the deceased's ITR filing, and attempts to add a new, unvalidated account for the refund have been rejected. The core issue is the requirement for a pre-validated bank account for refund processing, and advice is sought on how to proceed when the deceased's original accounts are no longer available.
