Once you attain majority, the right of your father as guardian is over. Now, you can sell, mortgage, gift, transfer the property to anyone as per your wish. No need to get anything done. At the time of sale, mortgage, etc. you have to give proof of your majority i.e. birth certificate.
Yes after you turn major you are sole owner of property and can transfer same on your wish.
You enjoy absolute right over the property.
Father was just gurdian he has no right over the property.
No as you turn major he is no guardian

No, first you need to get a title on your name.
After getting the absolute title you can sell the land.
Get in touch with some local lawyer for the same.

1. A Minor AFTER attaining status of Major, can directly sell his property without the consent of the Guardian, by executing a Indemnity Bond with strategic clauses, without any further references to the Guardian, who shall have no right over the minor's property.

Firstly, as the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that property is vested in your name.
Secondly, no there is no such rule where a person has to say hisself that now he doesn’t want to be a guardian.
Thirdly, you have to apply for getting the document renew on your name only now.
Fourhtly, your may have to give an affidavit stating his duty considered to be over now.
Fifthly, even if he doesn’t give an affidavit then you may have to send a letter to him along with the affidavit signed by you stating that you are going for the following procedure either come or considered to be served with free consent.
You may directly sell your property to anybody as you are major now
In the case of a minor for whose person or property, or both, a guardian has been appointed or declared by any court of justice before the age of 18 years, and in case of every minor the superintendence of whose property has been assumed by the Court of Wards, age of majority will be 21 years, not 18.
Power over minor’s property
In general, a guardian may do all acts that are in the interest of the minor. A third party may deal safely with the guardian in this respect. However, this excludes fraudulent, speculative, and unnecessary deals. Before this act, a natural and testamentary guardian had the power to alienate the minor’s property if it is necessary as determined by SC in Hanuman Prasad v. Babooee Mukharjee 1856. However, this rule has been restricted through sec 8, which mandates courts permission before alienating the minor’s interest in the minor’s property. Also, a guardian does not have any right over the joint family interest of a minor.
In the case of Vishambhar v. Laxminarayana, 2001, SC has held that a sale of minor’s immovable property without courts permission is voidable and not void ab-initio. It further held that Sec 60 of Limitations Act would be applicable when the minor repudiates the transaction.
In case, a minor repudiates an improper alienation made by the guardian, he is liable to return the consideration.
Liabilities of a guardian
since the legal position of a guardian is fiduciary, he is personally liable for breach of trust.
He is not entitled to any compensation unless explicitly specified in a will.
A guardian cannot take possession of minor’s properties adversely.
Must manage the affairs prudently.
Liable to render all accounts.
If the minor, after attaining majority, discharges the guardian or reaches a settlement of account, the guardian’s liability comes to an end.
Dear Sir,
You must make a representation before concerned authorities along with your date of birth certificate and gift deed saying that the guardianship of your father may be discharged. It will be discharged as you became major. Khatha will be changed without the consent of your father. You can sell the property to anybody else as you are absolute owner.
Once you have attained the age of majority, you can very well dispose of the property standing in your name in any manner you desire. There is no need to 'renew' any document for the purpose.
Once you become major by age, you will automatically become the absolute owner of your property, the guardianship of your father will become infructuous.
He is no more your guardian since your have become major and adult.
Do I need to renew the documents of my property now?or can I directly sell it to someone?
You can sell the property directly by yourself without any need to seek anyone;'s support except to prove your age by any birth proof id.
