To claim benefit of Home loan interest, it is essential that property should be owned by the borrower. If the property is in the name of any one and loan is taken by other , interest will not be allowed. As mentioned it is jointly owned property and both are the borrowers also i.e one is borrower and other is co borrower the benefit of the interest can be claimed .
If percentage of ownership is not defined and the first borrower wants to take full benefit of interest it is quite possible. It is essential that installment should be paid from his/her account.
