you both can claim a deduction of up to Rs. 2 lakh for the interest you repay on your home loan. In case the home is solely in your wife's name and she is afirst-time homebuyer, then under Section 80EEE she can claim an additional Rs. 50,000 forthe principal she repays on the housing loan.

I think the property must be in both the name other wise bank cannot do loan in name of husband in case the property is in name of wife only. Joint ownership levy here and husband can claim deduction under section 24 and 80C

If A is a co-owner, then only A will also be able to claim available deductions. Moreover, as already pointed our by Abhay, banks usually sanction loan to a borrower who is also the owner of the property.

Yes, Mr. A can get deduction for interest and principal on loan. He is eligible for deduction.
