Presume that B is one among the legal heirs of A, who are naturally eligible for the PPF. Even if B was a stranger and B died earlier to the death of A, the employer is justified if all the legal heirs of A joinly request for release of PPF and hence paid to them .

Legal heirs of 'A' is not eligible to claim the PPF amount.
Legal heirs of 'B' alone can claim the amount.
