Dear querist, your wife may execute Gift Deed in your favour. No exemption of stamp duty. But in most of States, the Stamp duty payable to Gift deed is reduced to less amount. so check in your state.

Show the title document to a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation, analyses, guidance and proceeding.
"Gift Deed" is the only form of transfer of property in your name.
Stamp duty differ from a state to another state. When you are getting so much property thorough your wife which is "unearned" and "without any efforts", what is the problem in payment of stamp duty, pay it willingly, as applicable.
