You have to claim according to the share in property and payments being made.
In case payments are debited to a joint bank account in which the money is equally transferred by both the borrowers, then they can get equal deduction.
Co-owners are treated as owners in respect to their share. Both are just like owners. You can claim -Deduction U/s 80C upto 1.00 lac in both the cases assuming that each of them is having more than 25% share in the property. Interest to be claimed in proportion to their holding. Loan amount has also to be shown proportionately.
