Why you need it

When you need it

A government certificate listing a deceased person's surviving family members, for a pension, bank, society or property purpose — NOT a Part X Indian Succession Act succession certificate, and shouldn't be labelled as one. Name the issuing authority and purpose, list surviving/predeceased close family, and attach relationship records. It assists administration but doesn't decide a contested will or ownership dispute. No single statute fixes one Punjab/Chandigarh office, fee or appeal route — Chandigarh sector property uses its Estate Office file, Punjab its own succession route. Not a substitute for probate or a succession certificate for debts/securities.
