Does a deceased person need to file an ITR ?

Hello,

My grandfather passed away in the initial days of the financial year. He receives a monthly pension from the state government, and he is a long-term investor in stocks. Does his heir need to file an ITR on behalf of the deceased person and close his ITR account?

Hi @Surapaneni_Arun_Sai

Your grandfather’s legal heir or representative will need to file the income tax return (ITR) on his behalf for the income earned till the date of death.
