sir,
Your father was an ex service man (ancien combattant).He returned to India in 1960. If he was born in Fr. India he should have opted to conserve french nationality during the period of 6 months from 16.8.1962. Otherwise he lost his french nationality and became Indian, If he received secours,it may be given on compassionate ground by the association by Ancien combattants and not by French Govt as pension. Yours sincerely,

Sir/Madam
Please study the effect of the Franco Indian treaty of cession, 1956 if you were born in Pondicherry prior to 16.08.1062. If born after, your father or
mother should be french nationals at the time of tour birth,
