After the demise of mother (Father was retired from the post of superintendent in central excise department) an unmarried daughter (She was fully dependent on his parents only) is entitled to get the pension benefit or not. If he deserves benefit how she will approach.

Since mother is entitled only to family pension in case her husband expires as pensioner, unmarried daughter is not entitled for pension.
