My flat is registered with wife and myself. I will be claiming tax deduction on loan interest amount. Rent agreement is with wife only and rent is deposited in wife's account. As total rent is below 2.10 lac.., Do my wife need to file ITR ? Or rent income need to shown in my income? How to avoid it?

Since wife is a house wife and the investment in the house belongs to you clubbing provisions applicable. Rental income to be shown in your income.
