Hi Aadi and welcome to the CrackBerry tribe !
Yes you can install 7.1 from your carrier by using this link : https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...BEF9DC24EC777A
Be sure your device is unlocked, of course.
Hope it helps,
Cheers

Edit : seems that only Package Version: 7.0.0.2406 is available from your carrier. But you may start from here (to have a clean starting point) and them jump into the Legacy Leaked/Beta OS - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com section of the forum to get stock/leaked 7.1
thanks for very quick response and warm welcome. i visit the link you share but i want os 7.1 not 7.0
You're most welcome !
Then, I suggest you jump direclty to the Legacy Leaked/Beta OS - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com section of the forum to get stock/leaked 7.1
Some direct links : (edited) See below for more recent ones and tutorial thanks to legal eagle !

Follow this installation guide kindly provided by elite1 and you will be fine
ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE
(updated 2012-09-01)
1.(Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
2.Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
*If 100% certain you previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3.Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4.On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
5.Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
6.Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
7.(Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
8.On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
9.(Optional/Recommended) Run BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS) or BB Boss v2.2 (not as updated as BBHT).
10.In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
11.After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.
**TROUBLESHOOTING**
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:
A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...-files-709738/
If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".
If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)
B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS
1.Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
2.Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
3.Restart PC.
4.Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
5.Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
6.Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).
Elite1's guide is excellent but sometimes there is more than one vendor file which can be difficult to locate. Google and download "Vendelete", then run this program after you have installed the new OS on your PC. It will remove ALL vendor files.
Oh, and welcome to CB.

thanks legal eagle but the link you shared is not working and tha page says (page not found). it would be so great if you shared a link for os 7.1 for 9900.
Do you have a public Dropbox link or something like it that I can upload the OS7.1 image to?
Just tried link and worked fine for me.
