Mr. A (Applicant) is of 58 yrs and solely owner of property for which he applied for Home loan for further Construction and the same property was kept as a security under Bank, the application was rejected because of age limit. The application was re-put along with his son Mr. B being (Co-applicant) the application was accepted and the loan was sanctioned. Questions Are 1] Whether Mr. B can avail the benefits of section 24(b) House Property? 2] If Mr. B repays the 100% loan. Can he Claim 100% House loan Interest u/s 24(b)? 3] If Mr. B repays the 50% loan. Can he Claim 50% House loan Interest u/s 24(b)?

IT IS A DEBATABLE ISSUE WHETHER MR B WILL GET BENEFIT OF 50% OR 100%. THE SON HAS NO LEGAL RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY AND AS SUCH THE QUESTION OF BIFURCATION DOES NOT ARISE AT ALL.THE QUESTION OF CLUBBING OF INCOME DOES NOT ARISE AT ALL.
