Availability of Deduction

Deduction is avaliable to the extent paid out of each individual's account.  Not the share in the property.

See Akash, Sahana is right till the part that it is available to the extent paid out of individual's account.

So if in your case the amount of installment is being paid by your brothers account then you need to reimburse him your share of the liability. Then only you can claim the deduction or vice-versa.
