Hi All. Recently I had applied to obtain a legal heir certificate in Mumbai old customs office. I required this certificate to apply for the post of my deceased mother who was a Central Govt employee (Postal dept) on compasionate grounds. But the officials in old custom house have rejected my application claiming that they are not authorised to issue the same for any central Govt employee. Is it true?? Can anyone please help me to understand it better.

Consult locally to know the office who issue such certificate. Can use RTI.
May approach the higher official in hierarchy to direct

Submitting application for compassionate appointment does not require legal heir certificate. Information as to family members is available with the Department. The authority for issuing legal heir certificate is vested with the revenue authorities.
