In case of co-owned property each of the co-owner can claim deduction upto Rs. 2,00,000
In case of co-owned property each of the co-owner can claim deduction upto Rs. 2,00,000 individually in their tax returns

Agree with Kiresh
In cases where the house is owned by more than one person and is also self-occupied by each co-owner, each co-owner shall be entitled to the deduction individually on account of interest on borrowed money up to a maximum amount of Rs. 2  lakh (Rs. 1.50 Lakh  up to A.Y. 2014-15). If the house is given on rent, there is no restriction on this amount. Both co-owners can claim deductions in the ratio of ownership.

thank U v much!!!
