04 March 2012 Dear Mr. Vikas Solanki

In my view, the Income from house property will be taxed according to the proportion of the ownership.

Further if the loan taken by both co-onwer they separate intt. & principal repayment will be allowed. But in that case you have to prove that the repayment is made from both accounts. So onus of repayment proof on the assessee.

Now Cheers

06 March 2012 The proportion in ownership and loan borrowed is necessary for determining income seperately in the hand of both the co-owners.
The proportionate accrued interest against loan will be allowed as deduction u/s. 24, even if not paid during the year.
Repayment of principal loan amount during the acct. period is essential for claim u/s. 80C. Claimant has to prove from which account loan is repaid.
