Co-owned with the spouse:
• For a property co-owned with your spouse, each co-owner reports their share of income (Sec 26) in house property (if let out), or as self-occupied (nil annual value).
• If you funded your spouse's share (gift), income on her share is clubbed with yours (Sec 64(1)(iv)).
• Schedule AL (if income exceeds Rs 1 crore): report your share (cost of your share).
• Home loan interest: each co-owner and co-borrower claims their share (up to Rs 2 lakh each for self-occupied, old regime).
