Mr. A and Mrs. A purchased a residential house in joint names. Bank loan was also taken in joint names. They are also repaying the principal and interest amount jointly in equal ratio from their incomes. Now my query is whether both mr. A and Mrs. A shall be entitled for benefit u/s 80-C separately Rs. 1.00 lacs each for principal payment and also benefit for interest payment u/s 24(b) separately Rs. 1.50 lacs each in their individual return of income.
