Release deed does attract stamp duty and registration fees which varies from state to state.
However for mutation one need not pay any registration fees except the regular official costs.

Hai Atul... U want to relinquish ur 50% share in house to ur wife.
As per sec 17 of Registration Act any document which creats, extinguish, assign or declare any right, title or interest in respect of immovable property worth more than 100 Rs then registration of such document is must.

If once the document is registered it will take its own course. I mean that at the time of registration normally the mutation fee will be collected.
