My mother is a retired govt school teacher getting a monthly pension. Her pension is credited in State Bank of India
She died on April 13 ,2025. My elder brother has misused her cheque book and forged her signature and withdrawn the monthly pension from her account via cheque till June 2025.. Can I give a police complaint? Even 3 months after she died, he has presented cheque and continued to withdraw money from her account

Consult a lawyer in your area to file a complaint at the police station and file a suit against him, if necessary. Follow your lawyers' guidance to proceed further.

Yes, there is an element of forgery committed by your brother for which he can be prosecuted.
Show relevant documents to a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of facts and professional advise.

Firstly inform the pension disbursing authority about this fraud and then think about lodging a criminal complaint with the police if the remedies have been exhausted with the concerned authority.

Has the Bank been apprised of the mother's death? If so, when?
