TRULY SAID BY CMA. RAMESH KRISHNAN THAT THE OWNER GETS THE BENEFITS. . IF WE GO THROUGH PROVISIONS OF SECTION 27(i) DEALING WITH "(DEEMED) OWNER OF PROPERTY" AS WELL AS CLUBBING PROVISION OF SECTION 64(iv), THE INCOME OF THE PROPERTY IS TAXABLE IN THE HANDS OF THE HUSBAND ONLY. . CONSEQUENTIAL BENEFITS , AS SUCH CAN BE CLAIMED BY THE HUSBAND ONLY. .
