My home loan is on my father's name but i want to take deduction of loan principal repayment on my mother's income tax return . .Is there is any way to take this deduction in mother's name

No, you can not take deduction in your mother's ITR. Even in case of joint ownership of property, only a borrower who repays the principal and interest can claim deductions. In case of joint borrower, it is advisable to repay the loan amount through a Joint account.
