04 March 2017 1. If the house against which loan is taken is in joint names with equal rights, then both can claim 80C (principal) and 24 (b) ( interest) equally.

2. If house is in husband's name, both cannot claim 80C and 24(b).

3, If house is in wife's name, full amount can be claimed by her under both the sections.
