08 June 2011 In case the flat is owned by you both jointly then both of you may claim the deduction in the ratio of amount spent which in any case will not exceed the total expenses incurred on stamp duty and registration charges. Otherwise, it is only the owner who may claim the deduction subject to the condition that amount spent is justifiableby him or her.
