Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I am the only son of my parents and i have a sister who is elder to me and lives with her husband in a different city.

My father died around 15 years back and unfortunately he didn't make any will. Now we want to sell that house but my sister is asking for a share in property. My mother is in my favour and she doesn't want to give anything to my sister.

We have been living in this house since last 30 years. I have spent lot of money on this house for renovations. But the house is on name of my father who is no more and there is no will.

I want to sell it and move to a different city where my son is working. Legally do i need to give anything to my sister and how much share ?

Isn't my mother the owner of property after the death of my father ?

Please guide me
