You need to respond to the IT notice about the death of your father. If your father had gross total income exceeding the basic slab applicable to him, the legal representative has to file the return. However, you need to register as a legal heir in the efiling portal. If you do not know his income details, you may mention the same to the ITO while responding to the notice and request him to furnish the details of your father's income as per IT records.

Your mother needs to file return for the pension she gets and the interest on the deposits.

Check in your income tax site that window is still active to repsonse the notice or not. If its still active you can reply online. If not you can file the return and then sublit the repsonse to IT Department physicallt to IT Offcer.

If you want I can help you to do this.

Its ok. You may request for condonation of delay in your response by citing the reasons for such delay.

1Yes if the same is taxable then on behalf of dad your mother should pay.

2. Kindly send the notice you received on modani005@gmail.com to comment as to what that notice contains and suggest accordingly.
