In Maharashtra, the stamp duty for gifting immovable property from a father-in-law to a daughter-in-law is generally 3% of the property's market value. Because a daughter-in-law is not considered a "blood relative" (like a daughter or son), she does not qualify for the concessional ₹200 fee often applied to immediate family in the state. Registration charges of 1% also apply. However there is no income tax payable either by the donor or the donee because this transfer is without consideration.

If father-in-law gifts property to daughter-in-law, the stamp duty is Rs. 200/- but you have to check in the local Sub Registrar office as the stamp duty varies from one state to another. The tax is exempted under the IT Act, 1961.

Stamp duty is a State subject, which differs from a State to another.
A gift deed attracts same stamp duty as of a Conveyance Deed in Delhi for anyone and everyone.
However, it is advisable to consult local sub-Registrar / lawyer / draftsman.

Yes, stamp duty differs from State to State.
