Four legal heirs of a retired deceased employee are claiming arrears of pension. Two of them are retired government employees, while another is still serving in the government.
The share of the legal heirs depends on the personal laws applicable in the matter. So, you should insist on a proper Succession Certificate issued by the competent court. For instance, in the case of Hindus, it has to be as per the Hindu Succession Act 1956.
Please collect the Legal Heir Certificate. In case of a dispute among claimants, advise them to approach the court for a Succession Certificate. The court will analyze the situation and issue directives on how to split the pension.
