Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to claim tax rebates on a joint home loan. The key question is how to divide the claimed interest based on unequal EMI payments (75% for one borrower, 25% for the other). While legal co-ownership might suggest a 50:50 split, the consensus leans towards claiming based on actual contribution, allowing the higher earner to claim 75% of the interest for maximum tax benefit.

You can avail 75% of the interest of total loan amount paid and your wife can avail 25% of the the interest of total loan amount paid. ratio has to be 75:25.
You may go with 75:25 ratio
75:25

if you are 50:50 co owner

legally 

you are eligible for 50 and 

your wife 25 as she is paying 25
