You have mentioned that Assessee wife has a house and getting rental income. What is the source of investment. If the source of investment is through husband then it has to be clubbed. If the Assessee's wife has independent source of income then need not be clubbed. If he really wants to club and enjoy benefit of housing loan interest then he can say the house was purchased through husband's sources. For joint loan, husband's name shall be first name.
