Lot of assessees have died in recent Covid attack before they could have filed their ITR and TAR for asst year 2021-22. Their DSC had expired validity as the last date of ITR was extended several times. The only alternative left is that legal heir (son or wife) file the said ITR/TAR as per procedure given. WE applied in a case but after few days the application was rejected without communicating the reasons. In last dates for TAR, the tax audit report was filed by CA but could not be confirmed by assessee or legal heir. An application to CBDT was moved u/s 119 explaining the position and requesting permission either to file TAR/ITR in paper format or for approval to legal heir. No reply is received. What can be done to file these and avoid penalties.
