Which of the following statements is incorrect in reference to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The statement "Daughter's son's son is heir in Class I" is incorrect, since a daughter's son's son appears only in Class II (Entry III) of the Schedule (after the 2005 amendment a daughter's daughter's daughter can be a Class I heir, but a daughter's son's son cannot), whereas "Sister by uterine blood is not included in the Schedule" is correct, and under Section 14 both movable and immovable property acquired by a female Hindu is held by her as full owner.
