Thanks Sir, This property (Plot) is belongs to my Father who is a 61 years old & fully depended on me,I have borrowed the loan & paying installments out of my Salary Income. I have two younger brothers too & they have no objections for the same... Pls. elaborate the proper meaning of Co-owner in this case....

Is it means, I cannot claim the benefit of Interest & Principal amount paid by me?...
Can I get that property transferred on my name now... After this from which date I can get the benefit of Interest & Principal amount paid by me? Also can i get the benefit of HRA exemption along with the benefit of Interest & Principal amount paid by me?

Yes, property is transferred in curreny FY ( before 31st March ), you can avail exemption for Int and principal from current year itself. Means you can start availing benefits from the year in which property is transferred in your name.
Yes, one can claim both HRA and house loan benefit subject to meeting certain conditions.
