12 November 2009 Only Mrs. X. as to claim the deduction for both principan and interest, you must be the owner of the property and obviously be the borrower also ( may be co owner or co borrower)

12 November 2009 as per sec. 24(b) & 80C, deduction for repayment of housing loan is allowed only to legal owner of the property.

As in your case Mrs. X has legal ownership then only Mrs. X can claim the deduction part.
