This query is : Resolved
My father an income tax payer, died on 16/02/2012. I would like to register myself as a legal representative on behalf of my father to submit the IT return. Unfortunately, I had lost the PAN Card of my father while shifting to another nearby premises. In this regard, I had lodged an information/General Diary at the local police station. I am also an income tax payee and have PAN number(linked with adhaar also). However, I gathered information from income tax website that without uploading the soft copy of the PAN card of the deceased person, one cannot register him/her as a legal representative. Now I seek advice from the respected members to help me out of this problem as I had talked with customer care executive several times but they failed to show me any solution.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any specific reason and purpose that you want to submit ITR of a dead person, your father? Also, how you are sure that you can file ITR for the FY 2012-13 that too for and on behalf of a dead person?
Also, what was the age of your father on the date of his death.

The reason is that he had a fixed deposit in which the bank had deducted some TDS. To claim the TDS refund, one should file the ITR. I talked with the customer care executive and I have been given assurance that I can file ITR return for the AY 2013-14. He was 77 years at the time of death.

Consult a tax lawyer or CA for proper appreciation of facts, guidance and proceeding.
