Hi, Can you please clarify that interest on housing loan exemption of Rs.2,00,000/- is applicable consolidated for both husband and wife or can each one claim exemption of Rs.2,00,000/- + Rs.2,00,000/- Separately if they are working.

If the loan is in joint names and the residential house is equally owned by them, then each co-owner can claim Rs. 2,00,000. Please also refer section 24(b) of the Income tax Act,1961.
