Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies tax deduction eligibility for housing loan interest and principal payments. It explains that even if a loan is in the husband's name and EMIs are paid by him, while the property is in the wife's name, he may still be able to claim deductions under relevant sections like 80C and 24. The key often lies in co-ownership or specific bank lending practices.

you both can claim a deduction of up to Rs. 2 lakh for the interest you repay on your home loan. In case the home is solely in your wife's name and she is afirst-time homebuyer, then under Section 80EEE she can claim an additional Rs. 50,000 forthe principal she repays on the housing loan.

I think the property must be in both the name other wise bank cannot do loan in name of husband in case the property is in name of wife only. Joint ownership levy here and husband can claim deduction under section 24 and 80C

If A is a co-owner, then only A will also be able to claim available deductions. Moreover, as already pointed our by Abhay, banks usually sanction loan to a borrower who is also the owner of the property.
