30 June 2015 A property is said to be co-owned only if co-owners have paid for it. Merely registering the property in joint names does not mean that the property is owned jointly. Share of income of each co-owner depends upon their share in the property. The interest on loan will be allowed as deduction depending on the proportion in which the loan instalments were repaid during the year.
