Hi Ritu
i have gone thru your claim procedure.
to check with claim procedure, I suggest you to meet concerned, Astt. Commissioner of PF . In the normal procedure, the claims authorised by the employer last employed. Please seek help of the person dealing with PF or authorised person signed the forms. they will be able to talk to concerned clerk and head in your case. this is only to confuse you and trouble expecting returns from this settlement.
for settlement of deceased member dependent claim, we normally submit legal heir as on date of submission of claim. In respect of married daugter , you submit affadavit that you are married and you are not covered under definition of family member as you are not an dependent member. with regard to your sister, since she is not married, she is requried to submit the claim. In your case, the PRO is creating trouble, please approach thru your father last employer with Regl PF commissioner, if the matter unable to reach proper settlement or seek support through consultants , if you do not find a way out. these days everyone is having a stake in settling the claims.
in our place, as an employer, we take it as welfare scheme of the employee dependants, and pursue with PF departement find cause and settle the matter on humanitarian grounds
