We hold a Permanent Ration Card / Telephone Connection / Gas Connection / Letters have been recd from Banks etc on this Postal Address.
The only thing we do not have is the Electricity Connection.
Kindly advice us how we can tackel the same.

The facts stated by you are not very clear.
However, generally speaking, yes, the sister may claim her share, in the ancestral property, and especially to her mother's property.
