16 September 2008 The interest will be claimable in the ratio of their acknowledgement of the liability towards loan in their respective Statement of Affairs (Balance Sheet). Also, the repayment of loan should also be in the proportion their obligations for repayment which can only be ensured by booking the loan in the ratio as decided by parties. Also, the repayment and claim of deduction u/s 80C should be in the same ratio.
