Husband and wife are the Co-owners. . The Property Income will be assessed in proportion to their share/ownership in the Property. . If there is no such specification-take 50-50% . Husband had borrowed funds by taking a loan. It seems that wife has made purchased her share in the property out of her own funds and as such she was not required to borrow. . Husband only will claim Interest. .
When wife had not contributed, and she is just for the namesake a co-owner, Income will be assessed in the hands of Deemed owner i.e. the Husband , only. . If the case is otherwise,share the income in proportion to Contribution made individually. Consider the loan amount as Husband's Contribution. .
Also i wanted to clarify, what will be the case if the loan also is taken in the name of Husband and Wife (i.e that the loan too is in both names) and yet the Interest and the Principle amount is paid by the Husband...
