Quick Summary
If you and your father are jointly taking out a house loan and the property is in your father's name, you can potentially claim tax benefits. You can claim deductions for the principal amount under Section 80C and interest up to Rs 2 lakh if the property is self-occupied. Crucially, you must be a co-owner and pay your portion of the EMI from your own bank account to be eligible for these tax savings.

Principal amount of housing loan is covered u/s 80C and
Interest paid to max of Rs 2lakh can be adjusted from income if self occupied

If you are the co owner of the house and EMI is being paid from your bank account then you can take the benefit. 

If the EMI is paid by both you and your father then you can take the benefit of that portion of EMI (Interest+Principal) which has been paid from your bank account.
