1. Only if shares of ownership is defined in the agreement. Otherwise she can claim full amount invested in new house property.

2. Based on his taxable income. Nit mandatory if no capital gains.

Thanks sir for your reply..

There is no points stating share of property and therefore it is assumed to be equally (Husband and wife).

Therefore I am availing 100% benefit of husband share in wife income tax return filling.

Its not husband's share that is being invested by wife. Its her own share. Second name is just added for security purpose.

ok sir

Rightly said Sir.
