Stamp duty on relinquishment deed in mumbai

My daughter who co-owns a property in Navi Mumbai with me wants to transfer her share to me without any consideration. Which option is better - Gift Deed or Relinquishment / Release Deed? What is the applicable stamp duty in case of Gift and Relinquishment respectively? I am getting contradictory advice.

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 agriculturalThis 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.
