Your father was getting military pensions at the time he expired. SBI has its service conditions for entitlement of pension in general 10/20/25 years of pensionable service with age criteria with other requirements.
Discuss with staff cell of SBI, show all particulars and find whether your father had completed required pensionable service in SBI before he expired.
Can write concerned provident Fund Gratuity (PPG) department of SBI local head office / concerned Regional office of SBI for getting the needful done / information.
