Dear Sir / Madam,
YES. You will need to file your father's Death Certificate along with the written application to the bank to handover the proceeds of the PPF to you and your sister as nominees thereto.
Regards,
You need to find out whether you are joint nominee or on either or survivor basis.
If you are on either or survivor basis - you alone could en-cash the same, however; all the legal heirs to your father would be entitled to a share in it.
In the alternative you need to obtain a Letter of Administration (if your father has not left a Will or a Probate (if Will is in existence, or a Succession Certificate.
a petition for succession can be filed.
Thanks and Regards
