Treatment of housing loan

Please tell me what is the tax treatment of housing loan taken on joint property which is given on rent & instalments are paid by one person only. Also treatment of rent income when shares of joint owners are not ascertainable.

In my opinion , the person who pays installment will only be liable to take exemption.

If  ownership is not ascertainable then all joint property holders will be liable to take equal advantage, however if there is any dispute then A.O. will decide the ownership share.

It will depend upon the agreemnt between teh joint owners.  If the other owner does not ahve interest in the property & only one of them pays the instalments then the preson paying the instalment will only be eligible to avail the tax benefit on housing loan.

In case the shares are unascertainable then they should be divided between the jt owners equally.

Thanks  for reply  to all .....
