21 August 2008 Hi,

I had taken a Housing Loan for which my Father is Main applicant and I am joint applicant. Property is in the name of Father.

EMI's are paid by me using my savings account (salary account).

Am I eligible to claim Interest / Principle amount paid for Housing Loan. If so to what extent and which component can be claimed by me??

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Sridhar
