The best option is to make rent agreement in the names of both husband and wife, and pay the equal rent by cheque to claim HRA for both. In your first case, if the rent agreement is in name of husband, and payment made by wife, then it will be treated as loan to husband by wife, and no exemption shall be available to her. Only husband would be able to claim. Better is to make a fresh rent agreement in joint names, and pay saperately

so there will be two agreement or one agreement in both name will do, and we make payment of rent in one cheque and ask for two receipt or pay rent in two cheques ( mine and my wife dividing rent) and take two receipts.

One agreement will serve the purpose. You shall need to take two rent reciepts for share of each. Try to pay by saperate cheques, because employers of both of you will demand saperate reciepts in the name of payer. This is a practical case. SO its better to make arrangements as practical as maximum can be.

Generally, joint account is treated mainly of the person whose name is appearing first in the name on bank records. So try to avoid this thing. Go for separate account and separate recipts. You can have joint rent agreement. That shall not be an issue. Your employers will be satisfied with the rent reciepts in separate names.
