Yes I agreed the above reply.

As per property ratio the said Interest and pricipal payment excess the said value then no problem...

In the context of joint home ownership and a joint home loan, the deduction of interest and principal repayment for income tax purposes can depend on various factors, including the ownership share and the contributions made by each co-owner. Here's a general overview based on common practices, but it's essential to consult with a tax professional for advice tailored to your specific situation:

Home Loan Principal Repayment:

Individual Deduction Limit: Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act in India, each co-owner can claim a deduction of up to INR 1.5 lakh for the principal repayment on the home loan.
Joint Ownership: If the property is jointly owned, each co-owner can claim a deduction for their share of the principal repayment, subject to the overall limit of INR 1.5 lakh.

Dear Musrath Ji, your answer not clear to me , again I informing , it is Joined ownership and 50:50 ratio property. Can they claim 1.5 lac and 2 lac in each ITR ?

Yes. In the case of a joint home loan, both co-borrowers can claim deductions separately up to the limit of Rs. 1.5 lakh each, effectively doubling the tax benefit.
