1. Yes.

2. No requirement is necessary as central act overrides state act.

3. Year of marriage has nothing to do with the benefit rather it is the time/year of death of father of your mother. If he expired after 2005 then your mother is entitled for the equal share with all legal heirs of your Nana ji in the entire land left by him whether it was ancestral or self acquired..

Thank you sir.

I have one more question on this,if my nanaji want to distribute land aquired by him only to his sons, then can any legal action be taken?
