A gift deed can not be reversed or cancelled by the donor once it is given to the donee. However, Cancelling a gift deed will be done by the registration department only by the order of a competent court. For this Your mother have to file a case against your sister saying that, your mother had signed the gift deed due to force and coercion. This can be establish by circumstantial evidences. Once a case was registered you should take further action like sending the court notice to the registration department informing not to make any further registration on the property without the decision (outcome) of the court. you can even file a petition to pay the rental income/profit from the property before the court if the property is rented.

If your sister had accepted the gift by taking possession of the house and is enjoying its possession, and if the gift deed was duly registered in your sister's name, nothing can be done now legally for cancellation of the gift.

The right to cancel a gift deed allows the donor to take possession of property if a certain event occurs or if the recipient fails to meet a condition. The donor has only three years to cancel the gift transaction after the date of the event.
