05 January 2011 Yes... Husband can give the declaration for loan payment & also regarding Non-Claiming of any benefit under IT Act, then wife can claim 100 % benefit.

05 January 2011 In my view this arrangement will not affect 24(b). only 50% of interest can be claimed.

05 January 2011 Hi,
100% cannot be claimed by one,Even if declaration is there.This will be based on the pre purchase agreement & investment ration.IE 50/50 Here
