This discussion explores whether a co-borrower can claim the full home loan interest benefit, even if the other borrower doesn't claim their share. The consensus is that a co-borrower can claim the benefit, provided they have personally paid the interest. It's also confirmed that you can revise your Income Tax Return (ITR) for the previous financial year (AY 2020-21) to claim this benefit if you filed it recently.

Sir, Can a co-borrower take home loan paid (upto1.50 lac) interest benefit if other borrower not interested to claim his portion of benefit? If answer is yes, Can I revised the ITR ay 2020-21 which was filled last month? Actually here claim 50% of interest on home loan while first borrower left the benefit. Please elaborate the issue.
