As per provision of Section 22 of the I-T act, only the person who is the owner of the House Property, is eligible to claim the deductions against house property.
In your case, the son only an co-borrower & not an co-owner, so even if he is paying the EMI he is not eligible to claim the interest deduction.on home loan

Rent Received 500000
Less- Municipal Tax paid
Net Adjusted Annual value 500000
Less : Std Ded @ 30% -150000
Int on housing loan -122500
Income from HP 227500
You have not given the amount of municipal tax paid by your clinet. The same would get reduced from the rent received & the std deduction would change accordingly
