India Post — Settlement of death claim without nominee

Address: 752030

Website: I have not complained yet.

Sir,
I sibasish panigrahi, state that my father had deposited 70000/- as KVP in Odisha, Parlakhemundi without nominee. In the mean while, he was died and the KVP was matured. As advised by the Post Master, after submission of Succession Certificate the claim will be settled. I have submitted all relevant documents. Like Death Certificate, Legal Heir etc. However, he refused. As i am working in Air Force and presently at New Delhi and my family consists of only my mother, hence it is very difficult for me to obtain Decease Certificate from Court. I was also applied for Succession certificate in the court since 01 year. But they just lingering the matter and till now I have not obtained my Succession certificate. Any other option, for settlement of my claims please be informed.
