The Parliament of India enacted the Hindu Succession Act of 1956. It was published on 17 June 1956. This act came into existence seven years after India became independent. It applies to persons all over India and also over Jammu and Kashmir after the repeal of Article 370 in October 2019.
The ideology behind this act is to carry forward and create an undisputed inheritance succession among Indian families. It defines laws for succession for the immediate heirs (Class I and Class II), agnates, cognates, and other possible cases. To make it inclusive for female heirs, it was amended in 2005.
