U can get benefit of refund of both loan & intt from your employer by submitting him details & certificate from the lender.
If loan is in the name of both: 80C deduction for repayment of loan is on payment basis, i.e., who pays out of his taxable income is eligible for deduction.
whereas intt u/s 24(1) is on accrual basis & u both can claim (if one self occupied house)maximum Rs.150000 deduction each
