28 September 2012 The Self Occupied property is in joint names. The housing loan is taken by one. Interest paid during the year 1.70 lacs. Can A alone claim deduction of Rs. 1.50,000/-. Employer of A is allowing deduction of only Rs.75,000/-. Is there any case law in favour of A.

Thanks in advance. Please help
