Ownership in Property

I have purchased a flat of 80 lacs in my name and mother name.

Paid 20 lacs as advance from my bank account to seller and rest 60 lacs was through bank home loan.

In bank loan paper mother had signed as a co-applicant (as her name is there in property paper).

My mother has not contributed any money in purchase as she is a housewife.

I have deducted 1% tds from my PAN on 40 lacs and 1% tds from my mother PAN on 40 lacs on behalf of seller I.e. 40k each from my PAN and mother PAN

In the property registry paper my mother name is their as a co-buyer but she has not paid any money.

Now, I am filing my ITR (ITR2 as income is above 50 lacs) where I have to disclose my assets...so, I have mentioned this flat there and mentioned its value as only 40 lacs [as my mother is also cobuyer as per registry paper and she holds equal share in the property (as share is not mentioned in the sale deed)]... Is this right?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to declare a jointly owned property in your Income Tax Return (ITR). It addresses concerns about asset disclosure, specifically how to split the property's value when a co-owner hasn't contributed financially. The conversation also covers claiming tax benefits on home loan interest and whether the co-owner needs to disclose the property in their own ITR, particularly if they have no other income.

Yes, it is correct, against it loan from bank can be disclosed as 30 lakhs.

OK...so, Can I only be able to claim the tax benefits of home loan interest paid on amount of 30 lacs only......or I can take tax benefit on home loan interest on complete loan amount I.e. 60 lacs .....as I will be paying all EMIs...as mother is housewife

You can take rebate of max. Rs. 2,00,000/- interest.

Does my mother also has to disclose this property in her ITR1 (she is a housewife...her only source of income is Fixed Deposit ineterst)?

There is no option in ITR 1 to disclose the share in the property. If rental income is earned it can be disclosed u/h. IF HP.

This is a self occupied property....so no rental income.....so should I file ITR2 for mother (her income from bank interest is just 1.5 lacs) and disclose her share in this flat in that form .....or should I just file ITR1 for her and no need to disclose this property in ITR?

File ITR 1. No need to declare any income from SOP.

Par mother ke ITR mein...mother ka ownership share in flat disclose Karna Hai ya nahi? Please let me know this

No. Not possible to declare it in ITR 1 or 2, unless you have any rental income.
