Is it compulsory that the property must be in the name of assesee to claim the benefit of interest u/s. 24(b) and principal u/s. 80C for housing loan which is in the name of assesee. For example property is in the name of Father who is actually retired and housing loan is taken in the name of son (assesee) for reconstruction of property after total demolition. Housing loan instalments are paid by son (assesee) though the finance company has taken fathers name in loan application as co-applicant.
