What is the share of the loan between you and wife. If it is 50 - 50 %tage then your wife will get 50% of EMI interest as the deduction subject to maximum of 2 lakhs.

According to me, the transaction done is incorrect. Income, interest paid, principal paid etc. will be divided as per the share in the property. For example, if the share in the property is 50:50, then you claim benefit only to the extent of 50%. If you are repaying the entire loan, even then you can claim benefit only to the extent of your share in property i.e. 50% (as per the example is given above)

Agree with Mr. kirans view
