03 December 2012 Under Co ownership Property, Separate Loan Interest Deduction u/s 24b Limit is Available i.e. 150000/- Per Co Owner.

Not Prorata.
Its Separatelly Available for Each Co Owner.

and Suppose Your Wife Put One Property on Rent Then She Can Claim Interest & Principle Both on Both Houses.
