A.Dear Sir,
'Pious obligation' means the moral liability of sons to pay off or discharge their father's non-avyavaharik debts. ... The ancient doctrine of pious obligation was governed by Smriti law. There is a pious obligation on the sons and grandsons to pay the debts contracted by the father and grandfather.
Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005- Rights & Liabilities of a daughter member

Section 6(4) provides that no court shall recognize any right to proceed against a son, grandson, or great grandson for the recovery of any debt due from his father, grand father or great grand father.
Pious Obligation gone

I could have explained more if background is known to me.
Please give me FIVE STAR if satisfied by my answers.

A.The question is confusing. If that person did not have any property or income then how he was assessed to Income Tax ,whether he was filing NIL return? Until and unless actual fact is known, proper legal opinion cannot be given.
