site in the name of the mother, she was a teacher, she has bought the site with her own money, she has 3 sons all are working and living in US., The building was constructed using 2nd son's NRI money.
Do the sons have rights in this property?
Mother is selling the property, Does she has all the rights to sell the property?
Do we need get some sort of an NOC from sons? like Ratification Deed or so? Is it needed ?

Under Hindu Succession Act Property of female Hindu is her absolute property. In your case it may be possible that they may take a stand that, it is treated as Hindu Joint Family property, created out of joint contributions of all. If there is any evidence as to contribution of her son then take NOC from that son that the contributions he made is out of love and affection and not as a Joint Family Property. 

Regarding Documents Required to purchase a property in bangalore depends upon each case to trace its title.

1. RTC of the land in which the site comes (From 1968-present day). This is needed to verify whether land is affected from any PTCL act provisions, or from any Land reforms provisions etc. If such documents does not disclose preliminary title then Index of lands and other documents are required. Hence i said it all depends upon each case.

2. The DC conversion certificate duly verified from the concerned office.

3. The layout approval from the planning authority.

4. Building Plan approval from the local authority.

5. The upto date tax paid reciept from the local municipal bodies. And also khatha extract.

6. Form 3/ Form 10/ Form 9 depending upon particular cases.

7. Encumbrance on the land which can be best advised after verifying records.

8. Affidavit from her sons stating the land and building is her self acquired property.

9. If the property comes beside railway line, or National Highways then NOC from Railways/ NHAI is must before building constructions.

10. The preliminary title to be verified because bangalore is witnessing so many land frauds. (To satisfy -land is not govt land) 

ETC

For Registration requirements of documents are simple but for legal verification of title it is laborious task depending on each case.
