Births and Deaths in India

I am trying to find a record of the birth and death of my half sister in India somewhere between 1944 - 1948. My father at the time was living there, initially as a soldier in the British Army and then later as a member of the Indian police force. I have tried to find her details in the National Archieve and various family websites but have drawn a blank.
Is anyone able to guide me to a website that might be able to help me?

Thank you for your time.

Have you tried

British Armed Forces Births 1761- 2005, Deaths 1796-2005
British Indian Office Births , and BIO deaths
British Civilians died overseas 1818-2005

All of the above are on FMP and may also be on GR
Have you looked on

If your father wasn't married to your half sisters mother, his surname may not show on any index.

Thank you for your answer, I have tried FMP and GR. Also British Armed Forces but not the website you have suggested.

Thank you
