Hi! Please advise URGENTLY: How the amount of Principle and Interest amount can be claimed if housing loan is taken jointly. Thanks and regards, Ramesh

Deduction can be claimed according to the proportion in which ownership in the property has been decided and payment of installments has been made.
If the ratio is equal- Divide Principal Repayment Divide Interest Payments proportionately and claim.
Each of the co-owners can claim Maximum 1.50 lac in respect of interest and maximum 1.00 in respect of principal repayment. If the amounts are lesser, lesser claims will be allowed.

Thanks Sir, for the instant reply. Suppose, wife is not paying any amount towards EMI and whole instalment is paid by husband only, can wife claim the principal/interest amount?
