self and my brother has bought a flat in joint name & housing loan is also taken in joint name.
as per my understanding we both can claim deduction of int & principal ( 50% share each ) but my company is not ready to allow this benefit and they are saying only the first borrower of housing loan can take benefit of 100%

IN CASE OF JOINT OWNERSHIP, BOTH THE OWNERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM DEDUCTION OF INT. & PRINCIPAL IN PROPORTIONATE TO THEIR SHARE IN THE PROPERTY. SEE THAT THE REPAYMENT OF LOAN IS ALSO DONE BY BOTH THE OWNERS.

Joint owner, according to ownership percentage, can claim the Interest and Principal amount as deduction.
Company on request allow and consider the same but few companies does not allow so the way is to claim refund via filling of return at the end of the year.
