Jelly Bean Update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch (GT P3100)

Samsung has released Jelly Bean update for Galaxy tab 2 in India. You can upgrade your Tab 2 using Over the air (OTA) using wifi or 3G by device itself or can also do this using Kies software. I have checked in my Tab 2 using setting > about device>software update , but it has not shown me the update notification. After that I have installed Kies software and connect the Tab 2 to my laptop and it instantly shown the notification for upgrade. The whole upgrade process took approx half an hour to complete.
