All the sons and daughters of Hindu male has equal right to get inherit the property of their late father in equal shares. It does not matter that the children of deceased were from two wives. So you all are equally entitled for the PF and other benefits of your father in equal shares. The children of first marriage have not half share in the Gratuity as they alleged. You seven brother and sisters and with your mother ave the equal share in the property including PF etc. of your late father. Means every one has eighth share if no Will was executed by yours father.
