Housing loan interest deduction

I am going to take a housing loan for Rs. 8 lakhs for a residence. 

The property will be in my name only. However, the bank insists on making my wife a co-applicant.

If the property is registered fully in my name with the housing loan from  bank with my wife as co-applicant, will I be able to claim full deduction of the interest myself though my wife is coapplicant?
