For Hindus, the law of willful succession applies under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. For Hindus, intestate succession applies under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Intestate succession for Hindus is not applicable under the Indian Succession Act as a key feature of Hinduism. The law is the Hindu Divided Family (HUF) system. Hence, to regulate Hindu succession as per Hindu law and culture, the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 was enacted. For Christians, both the laws of willful succession and intestate succession apply under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Indian Succession Act, 1925 does not apply to Muslim testamentary or intestate succession.
For Muslims, inheritance is based on the Quran etc. The leading authority on Muslim wills is Hedayah or Fatawa Alamgiri.
