You need to transfer the share on her name than her name will come on the registered documents. 

It would be charged some nominal fee depending upon the local authorities rates.

It would take one day

Yes, you can make your wife co-sharer in the property by transferring the share in her name by way of transfer deed. The process takes few hours from drafting to registering the same. As per Haryana Govt., there are no fees required for the transfer deed done in blood relation, however, you need to pay minimal charges as registration fees.

The property already owned by you on the basis of a registered sale deed can not be transferred to your wife to make her a co owner unless and until you make a registered deed of conveyance.

So you have the option of making a registered gift deed to give its half share to you wife to add her name as co sharer/co owner of the property

- Legally you cannot add your wife's name in the sale deed already done in your name .

- However, being the legal owner of the property , you can gift some portion of the property in her name after executing a registered Gift deed. 

- Haryana government waived off stamp duty on transfer of property to blood relations, including children, grandchildren, spouse,

- Maximum it will take 2 to 4 days .

If you  want to transfer your entire property to your wife's name, you can very well execute a registered gift deed in her favor provided the property is not under mortgage loan.

If there is a loan subsisting, having this property as collateral security, then you may have to obtain NOC from bank/financial institution for transferring the property from your name to your wife's name.

The applicable stamp duty as per the value of the property may have to be paid by you for this transfer.

Since you are the sole owner of the property you can transfer its full ownership to anyone including your wife to make her its exclusive owner.

It is needless to say to gfit the property you need to bear the stamp duty and the registration fees as per the rate of your state.
