Madam,
All the four daughters of your father shall equally share the amount received.
Only sons or unmarried daughters are eligible for the job of a person who has demised while on duty.
Good luck,

Try to have amicable solution among sisters, otherwise due to any counterclaim department may hold / keep pending the decision on compensatory appointment and it would not be in favor of any of the family member.
Property of deceased father would be inherited by all legal heirs including spouse of the deceased.

Is there any possibility/right to my 3rd sister to approach law for Money settlement before other two sisters marriage.
