Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

our mother passed away intestate, she has a plot of land in India . and me and my brother are the only legal heirs to that , as we have no other siblings , and our father passed away many years ago. The land was acquired by my mother and she made my brother who was at that time a minor co owner of the land. as she left no will , i am now 25% owner of her share. ie.. my brother owns 75% and me 25% .

both of us want to avoid the time consuming hassle and expensive situation of getting a succession certificate.

If I sign a relinquishment deed giving up my right to the land , then

a)does my brother become 100% owner

b)does this avoid the neccisity of a succession certificate

c)I have no children so there is no question of any grand children on my side making any claims now or later.

advice will be much appreciated.
