@ Amarjas,

What about the property's ownership of the two persons...??

In the ratio of payments made by each of them out of their income.

What is your loan sharing ratio or property ownership ratio??

Both person can claim Principal and Interest based on their contribution or share. 

One of the property owner's income less than taxable income or tax payable less than the portion. Other owner can claim rest of claimable amount.
