1. Gift from father in law will not be taxable in the hands of wife.
2. Even though clubbing provisions apply in case of gift from father in law to your wife since no income will be generated by your wife out of the amount gifted by father in law there will be no clubbing of income in the hands of father in law.
3. Amount gifted to you by your wife will not be taxable in your hands. Also no clubbing will be applicable in your wife's hands on transfer of this money since it will be invested by you only in clearing your loan.
4. Advisable to make two separate gift deeds for both gifts.

As per Section 56(2)(vii) of Income Tax Act, 1961 both transaction comes under the definition relatives, transaction between the relative have no Income Tax Implication at all under the same section.
Therefore, no Tax treatment is required. It upto you how you would like like treat.
Further, Said section doesn't specify any kind of documentation for transaction between relatives. But holding Gift deed for transaction with father in law is suggested.
