Quick Summary
When a property is jointly owned and a home loan is taken out in both names, both owners can typically claim tax deductions for the interest paid (Section 24) and principal repayments (Section 80C). This is provided both individuals are actively contributing to servicing the loan. The deduction is generally available in proportion to the ownership stake. It's advisable to check your provisional certificate before claiming any deductions.

I think only to wife, deduction is available as I rememeber answering it many months ago. 

Things are different now 'Since the property is jointly owned by you (the husband) and your wife, both of you are entitled to claim the benefit of interest under Section 24 as well as in respect of repayment of principal amount of home loan under Section 80C provided both are servicing the home loan.'

In proportion to the ownership

Yes, kindly check the provisional certificate before claiming any deduction on interest and principal amount on housing loan.
