Dear Smitha,
If your father has taken separate FD's with each FD having one sole nominee, you are entitled to receive the entire amount of the FD wherein you are the sole nominee. If your father has taken only one FD of Rs. 28 lakhs and named you and your brothers as the nominees, all are entitled to an equal share of the proceeds. If your father has made a Will, the beneficiaries named in his Will are also entitled to their respective shares. You will have to file a suit in the Court for claiming your equal share.
