She is a co-owner and not a co-sharer hence she cannot transfer her share in the property by executing a release deed, instead she can either transfer it by executing a registered gift deed or a registered sale deed. In Mumbai, the stamp duty for a daughter transferring her share of a property to her father through a gift deed is Rs 200, if the property is residential or agricultural. This is a reduced rate applicable to property transfers within the family. The standard stamp duty for gift deeds in Maharashtra is 3% of the property's value, but a lower rate of Rs 200 is applicable for family members.

Gift deed is the only option for your daughter to transfer her share to you.
Stamp duty is a state subject, consult local sub-registrar / area document writer or lawyer.

I have gone through the above replies. I have consulted a local lawyer (the property is a flat under Panvel Municaplity, Navi Mumbai). According to him, we have to pay 4% stamp duty (plus, 1% as registration charges) for registration of the gift deed. Does a flat fall under the definition of resdiential property for the purpose of concessional stamp duty?
