We consider the lepton number violating decays $B \to \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $B \to D^{(*)} \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ which may bedetected at LHCb and Belle-II experiments; and $B \to \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm}e^{\mp} \nu$ and $B \to D^{(*)} \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu$ decays whichmay be detected at Belle-II experiment. The projected total number of produced$B$ mesons is $4.8 \times 10^{12}$ at LHCb upgrade and $5 \times 10^{10}$ atBelle-II. For the case that the above decays are not detected, we deduce thenew upper bounds (sensitivity limits) for the mixing parameter $|U_{\mu N}|^2$of heavy sterile neutrino with sub-eV light neutrino, as a function of thesterile neutrino mass in the interval $1.75 \ {\rm GeV} < M_N < 5.0 \ {\rmGeV}$. We take into account the probability of decay of the sterile neutrino$N$ within the detector, taking as the effective detector length $L=2.3 \ m$ atLCHb upgrade and $L=1 \ m$ at Belle-II. In the interval $1.75 \ {\rm GeV} < M_N< 3 \ {\rm GeV}$, the most stringent bounds can be obtained with the decays $B\to \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ at LHCb upgrade. The sensitivity limits areexpected to be in general more stringent at LHCb upgrade than at Belle-II,principally because the number of produced $B$ mesons in LHCb upgrade isexpected to be by about two orders of magnitude larger than at Belle-II. Weconclude that the LHCb upgrade and Belle-II experiments have the potential toeither find a new heavy Majorana neutrino $N$, or to improve significantly thesensitivity limits (upper bounds) on the heavy-light mixing parameter $|U_{\muN}|^2$, particularly in the mass range $1.75 \ {\rm GeV} < M_N < 3 \ {\rmGeV}$. This work is a continuation and refinement of our previous work [1] onthe subject.
