20 June 2016 interest is considered on due basis and not on paid basis.
if the loan is joint loan, both can claim interest 50:50

20 June 2016 01. it can always be said that two names in the agreement is for family convenience.
02. No need to have any agreement between the two.....if asseessing officer asks for, you can submit an affidavit to that effect
