Can I file ITR of a deceased person if the approval is awaited? Can I file ITR of a deceased person if the approval is awaited?

2 years ago

I have submitted the request to register as a Representative of Assessee as a Legal Heir on 12 Dec 2021 but its approval is still awaited from the IT department. So, can I file the ITR of my deceased father from his e-filing login account to avoid the late fine?

Once the person has expired and is no more then I don't think that the it is required to file income tax report on his/her behalf. The existence of that person is no more then why do you want to create an extra liability and pay the tax.
