1. AFTER giving proper Legal Notice to the Post Master, File Grievance Petition before the local Consumer Court, supported with all documentary evidences and refusal reply of the Post Master.
2. You will be able to claim Interest upto date of settlement and compensation, depending on the matter.

In the mean time you should obtain Legal Heir Certificate from concerned Revenue dept or Tehsildar Office. The Post Master can not dictate where a person should demise.He is only taking un due advantage. Write to him thro RTI seeking the details for his refusal and certainly he would oblige

Also note Nominee is just a responsibility to distribute the particular amount to the Legal Heirs and nominee can not have a share or claim unless and until he is also an legal heir
