if any specific percentage is not specified of his ownership in joint ownership agreement of flat means your husband has 50% right. you can get his 50% right in the said flat transfer to your name by registering a gift deed. Stamp duty and registration charges may be nominal but shall depend on the state and city where the property is situated .

Hi,
You may execute a Gift Deed in your favour and seek the interest in the Husband’s share. The instrument will attract a Stamp Duty as per state laws and will also be required to be registered at the Sub registrar. Also in income tax filings seek CA’s advise to reduce capital gains tax and how it can be documented.
