Jointly bought property with a joint loan:
• If both spouses are co-owners (in the sale agreement) and co-borrowers, each can claim interest (up to Rs 2 lakh each for self-occupied, old regime) and principal (80C) in proportion to their ownership share and actual repayment.
• If one spouse pays all EMIs, that spouse claims (their share, or more if they fund the other's share; the other's share is a gift).
• Rental income (if let out) is shared per ownership.
