19 January 2008 IF THE PROPERTY IS IN JOINT NAMES OF HUSBAND AND WIFE , AND IF LOAN IS IN THE NAME OF BOTH ( FIRST NAME WHOSE AND SECOND NAME WHOSE IN LOAN DOCUMENTS DONT MATTER ) ,AND IF BOTH SHARE THE EMI PAYMENT ( ALSO DECLARING THE EMI SHARES TO THE LENDER OR A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT IS DEBITED),BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE TOGETHER CAN CLAIM INCOME TAX DEDUCTION UPTO RS. 5 LAKHS
( UNDER 80 C UPTO RS. ONE LAKH EACH AND UNDER SEC. 24 INTEREST DEDUCTION UPTO RS. 1.5 LAKH EACH.).
OTHERWISE ONLY THAT PERSON IN WHOSE NAME PROPERTY IS REGISTERED AND WHOSE NAME APPEARS AS BORROWER AND WHO PAYS EMI ONLY CAN CLAIM INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS STATED ABOVE.
IF THE WIFE ALONE TAKES THE HOME LOAN AND ONLY IF SHE IS SHOWN AS AND REGISTERED AS PROPERTY OWNER AND ONLY IF SHE REPAYS THE EMI , ONLY SHE IS ELIGIBLE FOR 80 C AND SEC 24 DEDUCTIONS.
