Dear Sir/MAdam,

My Sister who is a Student and Dependent on me allotted a Flat in recent DDA housing Draw 2014.

As She has no income , therfore Registration money was paid by me and we have taken a housing loan forn govt bank in which my sister is a first applicant and i am a second applicant.

The loan account is opened in her name aand I am paying the EMI by Transfering the money to her Saving account.

Now my Query is how I will take income tax rebate/benifit on housing loan principle and interest as i am not a co-owner of the property and there in no joint loan account.

One thing you can do is, (If DDA allows, i dont know much of their rules) you can get filed a reliquishment deed from you sister entitling you the ownership of property. then you will be the owner of property and can easily get benefit of loan repayment and also inerest.
