The landlord besides demanding for transfer fee, would ask you to produce NOC from other legal heirs for this transfer.
So you may have to obtain NOC from your mother and other siblings to get the pagdi system property transferred to your name and for issuing the future rental receipts to your name.

You, Your mother, and your siblings are residing in the house with your late father. So after the demise of your father your mother and you have deemed tenants. And to my best in the Pagdi system, no transfer fee is necessary. The transfer fee can be levied in case of a sale. if the landlord refuses to transfer tenancy rights you can file a declaratory suit. And an amicable settlement is the best option for you because if you go to court, it may take time.

No transfer fees is charged by landlord from the LRs of deceased tenant.

Obtain surviving member certificate (SMC) from concerned (area) Tehsildar / SDM and submit copy of the death certificate with SMC.

In case the landlord denies transfer, file a suit for declaration and deposit rent in the Court of Rent Controller.
