Heirs must file the deceased person’s income tax return for the year of death and pay any pending taxes. There is no estate tax on inherited property in India, but any income earned from it, such as rent or interest, is taxable.

If the property is sold, capital gains tax will apply based on the difference between the original purchase price and the selling price. Clearing any outstanding loans linked to the property is also mandatory.
