After attaining the majority you aa become the owner of the property automatically. You shall obtain the legal heir certificate from the Tahsildar concerned.

Presumably you have already attained majority, you can sell it as absolute titleholder.
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 29 May 2023
Yes, if you have attained majority then you can certainly sell property.

Section 11 of The Indian Contract Act specifies that every person is competent to contract provided:
He should not be a minor i.e and individual who has not attained the age of majority i.e 18 years in normal case and 21 years if a guardian is appointed by the Court. You can sale the property after entering your name as a major in ROR

Yes, you can sell the property if you have attained majority i.e. attained the age 18 years. To my knowledge, the distinction of 21 years, where guardian has been appointed. has since been deleted.

You can sell the property independently because the property is on your name and you have become major by age
