My father who was an BHEL employ passed away on 21/02/2013. In this Gratuity nomination(made in 1998) 50% of share was on my mother name and remaining 50% of gratuity share was on Grand father name.
My grand father expired in 2011. Now the administrative officer says, bring a succession certificate from court of law to release other 50% of gratuity amount as your grand father was no more.
My question is why to succession certificate? as post death of nominee becomes void or invalid and the hare returns to my dad automatically, why we need to produce succession certificate.
To be frank I dont want to enter court as there is no dispute or no third party interference.
What should I do to make understand the administrative officer that succession certificate is not neccesary for this case. Also plz tell me how to solve this problem without interference of court.
Thank you
