Please consult your charter accountant for tax related issues. He will be able to answer you appropriately. As regards the share in the property, if you and your wife are goans and if your marriage is registered here then as per the Goan laws your wife will automatically be 50% share holder in your property. For other tax related issues consult your CA.

I am assuming you and your wife are domiciled in Goa and married under law prevailing in Goa. Keeping this fact in mind you and your wife will have equal share in the property. Also both would have to file joint IT returns so except your salary rest of the income would be apportioned equally in terms of section 5a of income tax act, so even if your wife receives the rent it would be apportioned equally for income tax purpose
