For taking such deduction it is necessary that such co-borrower must also be co-owner of that property deemed owner of the house property and loan shall be in the assessee name...

For taking such deduction it is necessary that such co-borrower must also be co-owner of that property...since ur bother is paying interest but he is not the co owner and ur owner but u r not paying interest thus none of you cannot take benefit of section 24

06 June 2016 co owner must be co borrower to claim benefit under this section... So a person who is not co owner cannot claim deduction

07 June 2016 no, no one can claim, due to owner is you, and under income tax who is owner and pay the loan who can claim the deduction. in your case owner is you and only loan co applicant is your brother no deduction will available to your brother also.
