There was a houseproperty the owned by husband & wife (as per ownership documents) purchased on 2006. Purchase price was paid by taking a loan and EMI s were paid by the husband from his bank account. Today this property is being sold, sale proceeds are received in a joint bank account & TDS is deducted equally in the name of wife & husband. Also the new house property that was purchased to claim exemption u/s 54 is also taken by making payments from joint bank account. Now can we compute capital gains equally in the ITR of both husband & wife?

Since the original asset is co-owned, capital gains has to be computed by each co-owner. If the % of ownership is absent in the deed, can be presumed as equal ownership for the purpose of LTCG computation.
