18 February 2014 When the joint loan has been taken both should make the repayment. If till to-day repayment has been done by only the husband then to the extant of the share of wife she should issue the cheque to her husband and from next time she should make the payment if monthly not possible then once month husband and the other month wife. A certificate from bank should be taken for equal share of repayment and interest and both husband and wife can claim the repayment in their hands.
