If your wife wants to give a way through her 4 acres to her brother's 6 acres, and in return he is offering the same amount of land from his 3 acres on the opposite side, then this is considered a land exchange. Just writing this on a ₹100 stamp paper is not enough or legally valid. You both must register an Exchange Deed at the Sub-Registrar Office. Once that is done, you can apply to update the Pattadar Passbook and land records to reflect the new ownership. Also, it is important to make sure the land being given in exchange is not assigned or restricted land. Only a registered document can legally protect both of you and avoid future problems.
