WILL is enforceable only after the death of executor and if other legal heirs not left with any benefit under the Will,then the interest in favour of any legal heir can not be renounced.

Yes you can.

Re: Indian Succession Act, 1956-Can Heir renounce benefits?

yes you can very well renounce your rights in the property.

A property coming your way trough a way of will or gift can be renounced. The property can not be imposed on you legally if you do not wish so.

Kindly renounce in any local daily newspaper.

Kindly mention your full name along with the fathers name and the description of the property.

Kindly also for the ease of other heirs furnish an affidavit or NOC to them stating as to how your property should be distributed among them.

Thanks and Regards

Re: Indian Succession Act, 1956-Can Heir renounce benefits?

One can renounce the benefits from a will. Then the renounced property will be divided among the legal heirs as if the deceased died intestate.

For 1, 2 & 3 above, person first has to accept the property and then give it to the others. So, without going into the tax part of it, one can renounce by an affidavit and/or giving notice through a newspaper.
