15 August 2016 Mr. Momin
Income tax deduction is available only to the person who is owner of the property as well as borrower of the loan. The son cannot claim deduction as he is not the owner. As far as father is concerned, he is owner as well as borrower( or co borrower). But he has not paid the instalments. All the paymemts are made by the son. Because of that he may not be able to claim the benefit. What can be done here is that the father can show the amount paid by the son towards EMIs as loan taken from him. That way the father can claim the deduction rightfully.
