Can the Husband let out his house property to his wife. They are staying together. He does not have any other house property. Can he show the rent received from his wife as income from House Property and claim interest U/s 24? (Interest amount is exceeding 150000/-)

Yes. Needs two things: 1) Rent paid should be adequate consideration, i.e., market rent, so that it's not questionable. 2) rent payment should be made by a/c payee cheque (preferentially) with due rent receipt
