Your brother if willing to relinquish his rights in the property, can execute a registered gift deed in favor of both you and the other co-owner or in your favor alone.

There is no stamp duty for transfer of property within the blood relations in Maharashtra but you are to bear the registration charges which is Rs. 500/- only.

he can relinquish his right over the property by executing a deed on stamp paper valued rs 200. Maharashtra government amended stamp act and have fixed 200 for transfer or relinquish right in property in favour of a person falling in blood relation.
