31 December 2023 Hello,

Below are facts of my situation:

1. I booked a under construction property in FY 2018-19 jointly with my wife.
2. Loan in joint name.
3. Total purchase price is Rs.1 cr. Funded through - bank loan Rs.30 lacs, myself Rs.50 lacs and my wife Rs.20 lacs.
4. Property registered in FY 2022-23.
5. TDS for payments to builder from FY 2018-19 to 2022-23 are reflecting only in my income tax account.
6. Both of us received e-campaign email. For both of us it shows transaction amount as 1 cr and number of parties as 2.

Questions:

1. Should we correct the transaction amount for self as Rs. 50 lacs. Add another row, select 'information belongs to other pan', update spouse's PAN and mention Rs.50 lacs for spouse? Do this in the account of each of us?
2. or should confirm that information is correct for both us? But in that case, will it not duplicate the amount. Also my wife's ITR is smaller than me.

Greatly appreciate your help.!

Show income from house property as self occupied or rented in case of both the ITR.
Claim bank loan interest and repayment deduction for both in ITR.

You can file revised return if not claimed.

31 December 2023 Hello sir, thanks for your reply. Just to confirm that I should go with option 1 above i.e report half the property cost for each us correct?
