26 July 2012 If my wife and I have taken a home loan for a non-self-occupied house, is it possible for one person to claim the entire interest amount as "loss of income from house property" u/s 24(b), while the other person claims the entire principal repayment? If not, in what proportion should both be claimed? The rental income is deposited in a common joint account.

26 July 2012 No, the proportion of claim should be based on the ownership proportion in the property, if not mentioned anything, need to claim 50:50 ratio.
