Inquire, what happens, if she gift it to you and you take up the liability to pay the installments. Some states, stamp duty is much less, in case of gift to family members.

Dear Sir,

The Housing Board will not register the transfer unless and until all the arrears / dues are first cleared. Power of Attorney from your wife to you is meaningless.
Payment of the transfer charges and conveyance deed charges after clearance of all dues is recommended.

a power of attorney or GPA does not convey ownership/title.
