Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a child in the womb at the time of intestate's death:

Section 20 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 gives a child in the womb at the intestate's death who is "subsequently born alive" the "same right to inherit to the intestate as if he or she had been born before the death of the intestate". The child takes a full share, and the inheritance vests from the date of the death, not on majority.
