22 August 2013 I have a qurey on allowability of Housing Loan Installments paid by son of the owner which is explained by an example as below:

Suppose Mrs. A is owner of a House property. Mrs. A is having nil income.Son of Mrs.A(i.e. Mr. B) income is chargeable to tax.Bank has advanced Housing loan to her Son Mr. B for the aquisition of house and keeping Mrs. B as co-borrower. The house is occupied by both Mrs. A and Mr. B. Can Mr. B claim entire exemption of interest (upto Rs. 1.50 Lakhs) and principal of installment from his taxable income??
