Yes, it's doable. It can be by way of settlement deed or gift deed and both are good for the purpose. There is a flat rate payable. Your father can settle the property to your brother with your consent, mentioning the same in the deed to avoid confusion in the future.

A settlement deed under Indian law is governed the 1882 Transfer of Property Act. A settlement deed is a legally-binding agreement that ensures fair distribution of assets and property among all parties. Recent data shows that around 10% of all property disputes are settled through settlement deeds in India.
