yes, you can get a succession certificate from court if there is no class I legal heir present. some banks require succession certificate of court,but some need only an affidavit of the claimant. succession certificate may be obtained from the court by the way of filing a petition/case and it normally takes 2-4 months.

I'm sorry for your loss. In order to claim the amount of the Kisan Vikas Patra, you will need to follow certain procedures. Since your uncle did not name a nominee for his Kisan Vikas Patra, the amount will be treated as part of his estate and will need to go through the process of probate. The first step would be to obtain a legal heirship certificate or succession certificate from the court. This certificate establishes that you are the rightful heir to your uncle's estate. Once you have obtained the legal heirship certificate, you will need to visit the post office where your uncle held the Kisan Vikas Patra. You will need to bring the following documents with you: The original Kisan Vikas Patra certificate. The legal heirship certificate or succession certificate. A copy of your uncle's death certificate. Your own identity proof. After verifying these documents, the post office will issue a cheque in the name of the legal heirs. As you are the nominee for your uncle's Post Office savings account, you can use the cheque to deposit the amount into the account.
