Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether both individuals on a joint housing loan can claim tax deductions. The consensus is yes, provided both names are on the property agreement. Deductions are then split proportionally based on ownership as stated in the agreement, or 50/50 if not specified.
Both should have name in property agreement. Both can take benefit of the loan repayment in the proportion of ownership mentioned in the agreement. If the proportion of ownership is not mentioned in the agreement them by default both have 50% ownership
