On the demise of your father his property devolved through succession on his widow and all children equally, presuming that his mother his dead. Your mother can thus execute a gift deed of her share in favour of her children. The gift deed has to be registered.

1) your sister can execute relinquishment deed for her share in property

2) if she is abroad she can execute POA in favour of family member

3) the POA should bear your sister photograph and attested before indian consulate

4) stamp duty is state subject and varies from state to state

5)in case birth certificate is not available ration card reflecting name of legal heirs would suffice

If your father is reported to have died intestate then his property now devolving on all his legal heirs, if decided to be shared on the children alone, then the mother can execute a registered release deed relinquishing her rights in the property.

1) Can my sister also execute relinquishment deed? In case if she is not present here and if she is abroad; what other options are available to execute RD? In case of RD, what percentage of stamp duty and registration charges are applicable?

Your sister has to be present before the registrar's office to execute a registered release deed relinquishing the rights in the property.

The stamp duty since is a matter that differs from one state to another, may be enquired locally.

There wont be any necessity of birth certificate if you are able to provide some other documentary evidences including legal heirship certificate issue by the revenue department. '

What do you want to get the no objection certificate for.
