If both of you have any dispute, then you have to seek declaration. Please file a declaration suit before civil court. File all payment receipts before the court and prove the same. That will support your case

Hi
The Wife is entitled to equal share in the house in joint name of wife and husband
As per law, it is the pristine duty of the husband to provide shelter to the wife & Child
So, in accordance to law, mere payment of EMI does not entitle the husband to claim 100% ownership in a property jointly owned by the husband and wife.

The fact of both being join owners entitles the wife with several rights over the property. You have to send a legal notice demanding her to join you in registration for release deed. In all probability, she wont be inclined to give up her share based on this notice, you can file a suit for declaration.
