Since your father has already retired and does not have any occupation to show as of now, the best way to fill that portion of the form will be to write 'Retired'.
People who have retired and do not have any salary should write 'Retired' in the occupation field of the form.

But there's no option that says"retired". So I've selected the "other" option. Will that be okay?
