As widow does not get salary, she cannot be taxed under head-salary.
she gets family pension.widow's family pension taxable under income from other sources.
she can claim deductions from this income.
as liability of representative assessee under sec 161,the widow can file return of income and claim tds refund due if any,and for this purpose produce death cert.and any other documents required . the refund also be claimed in her name.
if need be she may be required to prove she is the only legal heir of deceased, to claim the benefits accruing to the deceased.
